G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #300

A comic 40 years in the making, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #300 wraps up Larry Hama’s continuation of his Marvel Comics run which moved over to IDW in May 2010. IDW’s run had its ups-and-downs and controversial stories including the death of Snake Eyes. To no surprise Hama wraps up the run (but not the full story) with the return of Snake Eyes who is brought back to life by Dr. Mindbender‘s experiments only to immediately break out of Cobra’s control and help the Joes win on Cobra Island.

  • wiki: link

For your Saturday morning cartoon enjoyment, we look back in wonder at the genius of “Cold Slither.” An episode of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, “Cold Slither” begins with the Joes successful raid of a Cobra treasure stash leaving poor Cobra Commander (Christopher Collins) effectively broke. We even get a scene of Cobra soldiers (still dressed in their uniforms) attempting to apply for unemployment. LOL. And the Joes invade Cobra’s headquarters only to find Xamot (Michael Bell) and Tomax (Corey Burton) auctioning off whatever isn’t nailed down to potential buyers including Mumar Qaddafi, Fidel Castro, and the Ayatollah Khomeini. It’s hard to be a henchman.
