While Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) grab some of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s new technical doohickeys, Coulson, Ward (Brett Dalton), and Melinda May‘s (Ming-Na Wen) are briefed by Victoria Hand (Saffron Burrows) on a group of separatists who plan to use a sonic weapon named the Overkill to forcefully declare their independence from Russia and Georgia.

“A Headless Horseman is mowing people down and bringing about the end of days. For further questions please call Ichabod Crane, the man who beheaded him in 1781.”

G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files #8

/ / Comics

G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files #8Tomax is loose, the secret Las Vegas facility has been breached by Firefly and Night Adder, and thanks to Clockspring‘s unintentional cooperation every member of the team is now in jeopardy.

A drunk, drugged, and beaten Flint shows that he still has some fight left in him by throwing one of their unwelcome party guests out a very high window and saving the lives of both Billy and Ronin in the process.

Heading into next month’s final issue of the title it appears no matter who survives Tomax’s betrayal, Flint’s team is done. I don’t see IDW willing to kill any major characters such as Flint or Lady Jaye, but the setting for the finale leaves the fate of several of the team’s lesser members, possibly even Chameleon (who doesn’t quite fit in either of the other current JOE titles) a bit more uncertain. I’m been meaning to drop at least one of the G.I. JOE titles for awhile now, and it looks like IDW’s made the choice for me. Worth a look.
