GI Joe Comics – Origin of the Croc Master
Just finished GI Joe: Cobra #7, Origin of the Croc Master. I enjoyed it, although some of the artwork was a little too washed out and not detailed enough for my taste. As I have said before, I really enjoy character development and origin type stories. However, the skinny take on the Croc Master doesn’t appeal to me too much. I also am wondering how this relates to the story going forward, as several issues ago he seemed to have been killed off by Le Tene (now Chameleon). So maybe this means he is not dead…
While it is also a long shot, the whole eco-terrorist thing opens up the possibility for Eco-Warriors, which I really enjoyed as a kid and would love to see in these comics.

Just read GI Joe Cobra #5. It leaves you a little in the dark but it looks like Serpentor is the leader of The Coil, a group similar to Scientology. While weird, I like that Cobra isn’t an in your face, we are terrorists, like they were in the Sunbow and DIC cartoons and the old comics. This helps give it a modern vibe and helps it work in today’s society where we would just use drones and small assaults to systematically kill/destroy a terrorist organization.

Just finished GI Joe Cobra Special #2. I really like Le Tene’s character. It was quite the twist, her becoming the “new” Chameleon. I also likes that she was onto the Joe’s trick with her supposed mother. The character development and back stories are what I enjoy the most in GI Joe. Similar to the character development in the Renegades cartoon series.

Just finished reading GI Joe Cobra II #4. I really enjoyed the fight scene panels with Chuckles and the Cobra Vipers. I especially liked that they didn’t have text. It was also good to know who Jinx’s look a like is now, Chameleon. Can’t wait till issue 10 when try pick up Chuckles storyline again and I find out what Cobra Commander has in store for him.
Also I’m enjoying the adult twist with characters dying. Makes it more believable.
CVS
Stopped by CVS on my way home and couldn’t resist these two:

I hit up a second area TRU. Nothing new. Forgot to snap a pic.
David Perillo GI Joe Prints – Acidfreegallery.com
Well I went on at 9:30am and I was able to snag both a Cobra and GI Joe print! They look really cool and I will be framing them and hanging them in my new GI Joe man cave that is under construction! Just an FYI, both the Cobra and Joe prints are still available at this time. However, the Transformers prints are sold out.
