Friday Night Fights--Using Your Head Style!!

One of the many lessons that DC has taught us over the years is that war is often weird. (Also, that sports are often strange...but that's another post).

So for this week's Friday Night Fights, let's head back to WWII. G.I. Robot has just been destroyed!! J.A.K.E. #1 (Jungle Killer Automatic Experimental #1--what, you didn't know that?) sacrificed himself to save the Creature Commandos--and the entire Pacific Fleet!--from the terrors of Atlantis II (see, I told you war was weird!!)

The focal point of the whole Pacific theater is now the tiny island of Tattu--control its airstrip, and you have a massive tactical advantage. The Japanese know this, and given J.A.K.E.'s demise, they've decided that it's time to unveil their own secret weapon:

Krakko, the invincible Samurai robot!!

How tough is Krakko?


Well, that's it! Curtains for our marines, right?

No!! It's J.A.K.E. #2, just airdropped to the island!!! (These days, we'd call him J.A.K.E. 2.0, but hey, WWII, right?)

But can J.A.K.E. #2 take on Krakko??



And is J.A.K.E. tough enough to withstand mechanical samurai fury??




Uh...no.

Well, as Krakko turns menacingly on our marines, I guess that's the end of this Friday Night Fight, right?

Hold on...what's this?






Now, that's having a good head on your shoulders! Or...J.A.K.E. was head and shoulders above Krakko!! Or...

Spacebooger just shot me before I could make another head joke.

The cool parts of war that HBO mysteriously left out of The Pacific were brought to you by Robert Kanigher and Fred Carrillo in Weird War Tales #113 (1982).

Now it's time to go and vote for my fight this week. Because seriously--a robot soldier just whipped around his own head like a wrecking ball to destroy a samurai robot. I should win just on the description alone. But J.A.K.E. #2 gave up his head to defend your rights, so vote for one of the other fights, if you desire. But vote.
