G.I. JOE #9

While checking in on other ongoing threads such as Destro doing research into the Decepticons behind the back of Cobra Commander and Clutch hiding Hound in the Joe's compound, the majority of G.I. JOE #9 focuses on the adventures of the Baroness and Cover Girl in Paris. After coming to an understanding, the pair are rudely interrupted by Raptor and then Major Bludd. Although holding their own for a time, the pair eventually become the prisoners of Bludd who looks to gets some revenge on Baroness by attempting to pit her and Cover Girl against each other leading to a shocking final panel (which no doubt is part of a larger plan of Cover Girl to help lead to their escape).

Even with the final panel that screams misdirection (far more than it would had it been done the other way around), the main storyline with the two women continues to entertain. However, the it's the further integration of Transformers into the story (still mostly a tease at this point) which is of interest for the ongoing storyline. Hound will no doubt be found, but what happens at that point? Does he become an ally to the Joes, as he has with Clutch or are we looking at some Joes splintering off to help the Autobots against orders? And what does Destro want with Starscream?
