Reviews, ruminations, and (occasional) ramblings.
G.I. Joe #140 (September 1993) – “Goin’ South” – Larry Hama/Chris Batista/Chip Wallace
This one starts with Megatron taking Cobra Commander and his crew to Canada where the Decepticons’ Ark is hidden.

(A fairly common occurrence, but this time it’s because he discovered their brother trying to snatch his coin purse and strangled the would-be thief.)

This one starts with Scarlett having a nightmare about frying Hawk and Stalker last issue. Of course, she doesn’t know that the whole thing was a ruse to make her undercover infiltration of Cobra look more convincing, so she’s wracked with guilt over killing her friends.
