“For me, Jack Carter was London.”

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to another adventure of the Archaeologists of the Impossible.

G.I. JOE #13

/ / Comics

G.I. JOE #13 kicks off a new arc that, despite being set in a shared universe with the Transformers, feels very much like a classic G.I. JOE story. Much like in the original G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero cartoon, Cobra Commander sends Cobra forces across the globe in search of resources for his plans (which in this case are Energon).

The final two episodes of the season focus on Oliver (Martin Short), Charles (Steve Martin), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) solving not one murder but two and also saving their homes from being demolished to build New York City’s first casino. With the help of the robot, the trio is able to learn Lester (Teddy Coluca) killed Nicky (Bobby Cannavale), whose finger was chopped off in the underground speakeasy, and who was responsible for Lester’s death.
