Welcome to The Comic Box. This is a discussion thread for the GI Joe comics. We start at Marvel’s #1 and move thru the series every Wednesday. It’s a chance to give your thoughts, opinions and remarks about the comic in question.

GI Joe #4. Operation : Wingfield.

A nutty, hickoid alternative army is off training in the boondocks. Hawk, Grunt and Snake Eyes are sent in to investigate and take care of business. The leader, Vance Wingfield, turns out to be nuttier than a nutcake and he wants to destroy the world so he can rebuild it in his own way. Just like Dr. Doom in the Ultimate Alliance video game!

Interesting tidbit. HEY! This is Vance Wingnut that shows up in the Devils Due series. This is the guy who drops satellites and decimates cities. HOW a satellite can cause so much damage is beyond the average reader. They aren’t like meteors in Armageddon, y’know? DD took an interesting route by bringing this guy back. But let’s face it, the return of Kahn in Star Trek was a FAR more interesting villain than this Wingnut.

Another note. It would seem Grunt was quite the hero in the comic, although he got almost no time in the cartoon. Should he have a spot w/ the 25th Joes or were there way cooler Joes that showed up and booted him back to college?
