File #47 “Cobra Barada Nikto”

47_-_cobra_barada_nikto

Business really picks up in this strip. Plenty of action shots and Cobra kicking some tail. The Green Army Men were no match for Cobra as the H.I.S.S. was running them over and the gangsta Resolute Trooper was talking smack. Firefly had some of the best poses like when he was placing the explosives and I really enjoyed Baroness claiming this land in the name of Cobra.

I really enjoyed Flint’s dialogue and that final panel when he’s getting the boomstick ready gave me chills! The Ultra Magnus cameo was cool but seriously what was he doing there? Also, why didn’t he help fight Cobra?

Check out the conclusion:

File #48 “Hail to the King”

This file starts out with a bang as Flint and his Boomstick start putting in work and then the line of the entire story arc happens:

“Hey She-Bitch Lets Go!”

Flint gets some backup from King Henry and we see Cobra call for retreat. After the story gets fleshed out some more, we get a great conclusion to one of my favorite stories in the Ages 25 and Up Universe. In typical Numbers fashion, he can’t resist throwing in some extra humor at the very end between Doc and Flint.

Lets get some final thoughts from Numbers:

“Apologies for the hastily-slapped-together Team Fortress 2 team in Chapter Five, panel 9. I threw those together during the shoot using what few Stikfas parts I had available. And later in that same issue, Flint’s line when he shakes Henry the Red’s hand is lifted from one of his 25th Anniversary filecards.

Looking back, I think I made the right choice with this story. Rather than try to bring green army men and Stikfas into the world of Joes and Cobras, I just temporarily had a few Joes and Cobras visit THEIR world. Compared, to say, the latest convoluted story of Destro and Bludgeon beefing against Cobra and Captain America while the Joes and Autobots try to figure out what’s going on–

Let’s just say that simple is better”
