"Sugar Cookie Acid Test"
Hawk continues to fight against charges of treason, and an apparent lull in COBRA's shadow war against the USA allows the Joes to begin to train together as a team...in the lush Hawaiian Islands. The training exercises that Beach Head has cooked up for the Joes promise to make their days and nights anything but heavenly. But Scarlett finds a shocking touch of paradise in the hellish grind - in the arms of another Joe!

Cool. I'll be picking up all the G.I. Joe books, except G.I. Joe Reborn Vol. 1 TP, since I already have it, and Voltron.

I was wondering when the solicits would arrive. Yippie!

Wow I'm definitely picking up Army of Darkness. I love Ash (Bruce Campbell)! The third movie wasn't the best but I think the comic will be pretty good.

That Street Fighter Ken Litho actually looks really cool. Doubt I'll purchase it though.

Will army of darkness follow on from the third movie and explain how Ash gets out of the future?

From the summary, he's getting a chance to do a "do-over" where he sets a problem right. So they're probably doing a similar remake to it. I'm not for sure on that though.

I kind of figured that the easiest way to do it would be to go with the ending in the U.S. theatrical cut of the movie, where Ash returns to his own time, returns to his job at the S-Mart, but is still plagued by the occasional undead meanace because "he didn't get every little syllable right."

While, admittedly, the "wakes up in the future" ending that shows up in the director's cut (and, to my understanding, in some/many/all? foreign releases of the film) was a bit better and more in keeping with the spirit of the character, the U.S. theatrical ending lends itself better to continuing the story without having to write our hero out of a corner.
