A new issue of IDW‘s GI Joe A Real American Hero series is out now and we’ve got the preview!
GI Joe A Real American Hero #227
Cobra Commander’s plan would be going perfectly-If he hadn’t messed with the wrong people: his own members of Cobra! Now Destro, Zartan, The Baroness, Tomax and Xamot want something from Cobra Commander? and if he wants his COBRA NATION to succeed, he’ll have to do just as they say!
Read on to preview this issue!

We pick up right where we left off.
Cobra Commander is staring down the business end of Destro's wrist rockets.
Dawn Moreno appears and steals Zarana's knife right off her hip. Then points it at Destro's eye.
I have one slight problem with the Baroness's spectacular shot killing the fly.
The bullet would have not stopped at the fly or ricocheted. I don't know exactly where the Baroness was standing but she would have had to be at just the right angle to only kill the fly and not rip into Dawn or worse, Destro's shiny noggin.
The homage to the diner was cool. I did not see it at first.
Edward Hopper Nighthawks.
A nice bit of added culture.
Road Pig quoting Othello and Zartan not getting the reference was priceless.
Nice little scene with Bombstrike showing her abilities.
The Baroness stealing Dawn away was so reminiscent of her training Billy.
So the Arashikage have Street Fighter-esque powers. Cool.
Haduken!
Wendy hitting on Fred, joy.
Claire being a programmed killer? For what purpose? A Duke assassination?
Is this shades of Frank Drebin?
Decent issue to be sure.
The hint in the letter page about a Tales from the Dead miniseries hopefully generates some good buzz.
Tales about Billy, Kwinn, the Hard and Soft Masters that we have never heard about would be a nice addition to the collective continuity.

Why did they have to reference 2020 as a possible election run for Wendy Torres??? Why can't they leave dates out of this??? Ugh!!!

Probably the serie is going better, finally.

Sounds good, should have my copy Friday.

I'm definitely enjoying this arc more than previous ones. My only frustration is that Cobra Commander is such a colossal p***y. Every step forward results in two steps back. He couldn't even keep Dawn on his side for more than a couple pages...
NSP says
Sounds good. I think I will start getting this monthly starting with Cobra Nation. Hopefully my local Hastings will have 226 back issue.

I'm loving this arc. I really am.

Love seeing that Big Boa may stick around awhile. Always thought he should have been a core cobra villain.
Hope to see Metal Head at some point too! bAng bang!!
cobracommander1 says
This issue was an improvement. Well Done Larry Hama!

i'm hoping bomb strike's appearances means we might get a barrel roll and black out in this classic continuity. i really loved the post-2000 era of joe and find it very underrated. but, mainly, i just want arah to continue til issue 300.
