G.I. Joe and the Oktober Guard continue to fight on the asteroid. Cobra invades Wolkekuckuckland.


Detailed summary

Flint and Lady Jaye join Stalker and Hawk in Wolkekuckuckland to tackle an emerging crisis. They are briefed on an asteroid situation and the theft of money meant for food by a man named Wolfgang. Meanwhile, on the asteroid, Payload and Dragonsky discover that the robotic drones only attack those holding weapons, not tools. This information allows Star Brigade and the Oktober Guard to infiltrate the control center, initiating a self-destruct sequence for the asteroid.

Zartan and Destro take advantage of General Liederkranz's lack of fuel to continue their invasion plans. However, Wolfgang unexpectedly returns with fuel tanks purchased in Darklonia, altering the course of the conflict. In Wolkekuckuckland, the Joes attempt to thwart the invasion but struggle to achieve complete success.

Amidst the chaos, the Joes fear that General Liederkranz may have been killed. Fortunately, Wolfgang appears with the General, dispelling their concerns. As the countdown continues, Star Brigade and the Oktober Guard race against time to escape the doomed asteroid.

In the nick of time, Star Brigade and the Oktober Guard make it back to their shuttle and flee the asteroid before it explodes. The Joes in Wolkekuckuckland may not have been entirely successful in stopping the invasion, but the combined efforts of the two teams ultimately lead to the destruction of the asteroid, averting a larger catastrophe.

Memorable quotes

Stalker: "The recognition signal is 'asch nazh simbatul.'"
Flint: "The counter-sign is 'asch nazh durbatulik,' Stalker!"
Lady Jaye: "Betting the Cobras don't speak Orcish, are you?"

Other Notes

Errors

  • Lady Jaye is shown carrying a crossbow, like Scarlett usually would.
  • The "orcish" codewords have slight misspellings (see below).
  • It's not friction that makes the underside of a returning space shuttle glow red, but rather severely compressed gasses, which form a shockwave around the orbiter. Five miles worth of (thin) air gets compressed into a very small space every second.

Items of note

  • The title of this story is the second half of issue #146's "Immovable Objects."
  • Nearly every time the sky is shown in the book, the asteroid is visible.
  • The end of Star Brigade in the comics.
  • Destruction of the Defiant shuttle.
  • Wolfgang is a complex character: he's both the traitorous weasel Flint insists he is, and he's the reliable soldier Liederkranz says he is.

Real-world references

  • The codewords Flint and Stalker use are (misspelt) "Black Speech," from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings - specifically, they are taken from the inscription on the One Ring. "Ash nazg gimbatul" means "one ring to find them," and "Ash nazg durbatuluk" means "one ring to rule them all."
