I just did yesterday. Holy heck this is good. All of it, even the semi-grimdark stuff. Why? Because it makes sense! It isn't just for the sake of being edgy but because of character development, just how drama should be.

And the cute stuff is super duper cute and awesome.

Oh it wasn't anything so dramatic.

Count Nefaria tried to take control of Norad with his ani-pals. The X-men promptly routed them, and while running away, Thunderbird jumped on Nefaria's jet and punched it so hard it exploded, killing him.

The odds John Proudstar was going to have a long career were pretty low.

Well, I get that he'd be mad but uuuh... saving the entire world from death at the cost of a single guy would probably just leave me depressed, not wanting to punch stuff.

From an early GI Joe comic. I love how hard rear end that trainer is--"Oh, you've been shot, by me--have an aspirin!"

That, uuuh, is going to lead to him bleeding out if he is intending him to keep fighting. Or massive complications in his recovery if the bullet isn't extracted.

Also what the hell is this Starship Troopers? Live fire exercises is one thing but firing at your own troops?

I am starting to think whoever wrote that is either having way too much fun or doesn't know how bullets work.

That or that guy firing thinks he went to the Cobra marksmanship course and isn't going to hit anyone even if he tried.

That's one of the earliest issues of the G.I. Joe ongoing. It's somewhere between #2 and #5, as I recall. I had it in trade paperback as a kid.

Hama very much does know how bullets work; he's a Vietnam veteran and his operational specialty was specifically firearms and ordinance.

IIRC, the story from that issue has two of the Joes going undercover in a militia compound to find and retrieve the nuclear bomb they have on the premises, as the compound's leaders intend to train their militia to survive after World War III, then start it themselves. It's a plot point that the trainers are psychotic and the trainees are largely frightened and out-of-shape civilians.

That does make sense, thank you!

Well not when I first read it of course. It just became supremely funny the more people+marvel brought it up and how they absolutely positively couldn't stop to the point it took a retcon with the goblin kids to make people stop talking about it. Up until the marvel movie with the mini hand web as illustrated above.

Brian Michael Bendis has, though his entire career, included gags in police stations where people would be getting carted into jail and be someone dressed like a superhero or whatever. That's Bendis being carried away, and the women are in Ms. Martian costumes. Bleeding Cool (sigh) has a gallery of them. The Captain Universe panel is Jonathon Hickman.

Also, looking it up, the guys carrying him away are the artist and colorist of Defenders.

That gag made me glare at my comic once when it appeared, massively out of place in the story. Even as a fan of dadaist or nonsensical humor it just fell flat.

It was funny the first few times though!

The bomb batarang looks like it would just fall down at his feet and explode.

The flashbulb one is a good idea, but about 40 years too early. A flashbang you can throw in a straight line and embed at head level is a neat invention after all.

...police whistle batarang? Does it whistle as you throw it? Or do you throw it to someone so they can whistle themselves?

I'm reminded of his first appearance in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon. He and Spidey go back and forth trading verbal barbs, and then Spider-man has to stop and go "Hey, nice banter!!". And he's right, because all the villains up til then had been pretty dull in the mid-fight lines department.

It was a good way of showing him as a legitimate threat, somehow. And besides the prison episode, his writing was always top notch Goblin.

Real shame the series was replaced with the USM one.
