  I will say, though, that I'm enjoying Robert Atkins work on the book. Though it carries a bright, cheery tone that doesn't do much to dispel the idea we're reading a toy commercial, it's a much more detailed, thoughtful, and consistent take on the Joe-verse than he various other books have demonstrated. IDW clearly saved the top artistic talent for this series. I wonder why they haven't reserved the top ideas in term of storytelling. Everything we're seeing in G.I. Joe: Origins, G.I. Joe: Cobra just seems to outdo the events in this book. Heck, even Dixon's own take on Destro in Movie Prequel #2 puts this one to shame. Clearly something is wrong here. Read Full Review
