G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #308

The mutant Cobra storyline continues as Serpentor Khan readies stealth fighters with his mutated soldiers who he will drop on Springfield to fight for his version of Cobra. Springfield is also of importance to the Joes who send the entire Ninja Team (hell yeah, give me as much of this group as you fit in every issue) to the city. Interesting to see Scarlett chosen as their leader which chafes Storm Shadow a little. Along with them are also Zartan, the Baroness, and the Dreadnoks, although the attack on the city by the mutated troops may change our heroes’ timeline.

The Inventor

Even if it does get a bit schmaltzy in its final act ending in a questionable musical number, 2023’s The Inventor still has much to offer in the stop-motion animation that explores the life of Leonardo da Vinci (Stephen Fry) first in Rome and later in France where his experiments and inventions struggle against the expectations and demands of his patrons. Leonardo finds a kindred spirit in Princess Marguerite (Daisy Ridley) who shares his dreams in creating an ideal city, although her brother Francis I (Gauthier Battoue) is more concerned with his inventor creating ways for the king to show off to other rulers.

Hit-Monkey - Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Bryce (Jason Sudeikis), Haruka (Ally Maki), and Hit-Monkey look for who set them up leading to a pair of bloody and violent confrontations taking place in the New York Public Library and an an exclusive Gentlemen’s Club. In both situations, Haruka’s new blade overwhelms her creating a new situation for Bryce and the monkey to deal with, but “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” is most notable for the carnage the three create not once but twice which leaves no one alive left to answer their questions. The episode also introduces the character of Dot, a young assassin who chooses to help our protagonists against the Aldermen for reasons of her own. If there’s a negative to this point in the season, it’s that the humans (each with their own story) are beginning to overshadow our title character.
