G.I. JOE battles Cobra Commander‘s army of enhanced Mega B.A.T.s all over the world as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Saturday Morning Adventures continues. Cobra Commander uses a second wish to bolster and prevent the weapons from ever backfiring on him but he learns the hard way of the genie’s tricks as some Joes become impervious to his new weapons with the utterance of a single word.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Saturday Morning Adventures #2 continues the fun of the first episode while beautifully recreating the look from the 80s cartoon. I can almost hear the actors in every panel. Despite the missteps by Cobra in this issue, they earn some big victories over the Joes including taking Duke as a prisoner and managing to use the chaos of the rampaging robots to secure Cobra Commander’s real prize.

Sadly, the group doesn’t realize they are walking into a trap before it is too late. While the Guard manages to make it out alive with the parts the came for, Revanche isn’t too worried about the theft as their control of the parts within the soldiers gives them an advantage for the future.
