In our last issue, Cobra had played the Joe team against their Russian special forces counterparts. While the Oktober Guard and Joes were entangled, Cobra forces set up an ambush and captured them. Near the very end, Cobra Commander instructed a trooper to line them along the ravine. And shoot them! Again, this is a heavy, somber topic for a comic book. Following in a long line of evil masterminds who can’t be bothered by the trivialities of taking two minutes to eliminate the only threat to their plans, Cobra…

BackgroundThis issue of G.I.Joe is a direct echo of the Cold War 1980’s. It surrounds a mission to recover a downed experimental Russian flying vehicle in the Hindu Kush Mountains in Afghanistan. For those a bit fuzzy on their 1980’s history, Russia and other communist countries were conglomerated together as part of something called the “Soviet Union.” Afghanistan is one of the “Stan’s” that was not part of this union. Afghanistan bordered Russia. Border and other disputes resulted in Russian entanglements in Afghanistan. Normally, a world super-power like Russia would trample…

August 22, 2016August 24, 2016 Serpentorslair StaffJames Gunn, Marvel Comics, Marvel Studios, Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Zendaya0 comment

Following all of the internet outrage about the possibility of the African American actress ‘Zendaya‘ playing Mary Jane in, ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming‘, Marvel’s James Gunn has taken the time to make a lengthy response. In it, he states that Marvel Studios could virtually care less about the comic book history of the past century. He states that race, especially if the character is white, will be totally disregarded by Marvel Studios if they so choose. They are more interested in selling ‘diversity’ and a ‘pc’ culture, than holding true to a…
