Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - The Asset

The team heads to Colorado after a S.H.I.E.L.D. transport is attacked by an invisible electrostatic field, allowing an armed group to kidnap a Priority Red asset: Canadian physicist Franklin Hall (Ian Hart). Tracing the equipment used in the attack leads the team to Ian Quinn (David Conrad) who offers the scientist, an old friend and rival, a chance to work on his long theorized Gravitonium-powered gravity-shifting device which, as the hijack shows, is no longer quite so theoretical.

G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files #7

/ / Comics

G.I. JOE: The Cobra Files #7Flint breaks the news to his team that he’s decided to disband their group. While some of the team takes the news well, both Chameleon and Clockspring show their displeasure at Flint’s decision which puts both their futures in limbo.

While Chameleon apologizes for the recent romantic tinges of her relationship with Flint, Clockspring gets more wound up than usual thanks to Tomax who has absolutely no plans to let the JOEs throw him in the nearest gulag now that his usefulness as a consultant is at an end.

Escaping isn’t going to be easy for the former Cobra operative. Of course it helps that he’s gotten in tight with the team’s computer expert and invited a couple of friends (Firefly, Night Adder) to the desert and inside the JOEs’ secret base.

The tension which has been building in the mishmashed team since the first issue is finally boiling over. The only question is who will survive, and what side will some of them ultimately end up on? Worth a look.
