Feb 03, 2015Overall, it's an odd dialemma. I want to enjoy G.I Joe #5 and, for the most part, I do. On second readings, however, the developments appear small and the actual pay-off is continually promised over the horizon. Read Full Review

Feb 08, 2015The worst part about G.I. Joe is how much potential itsquanders. I went into this series wanting to like it, actually excited to see someone do a serious and adult take on G.I. Joe akin to Larry Hama's work with the franchise. Everything about the comic had been sold as a deep and interesting take on the franchise. Right down to those amazing covers working so hard to subvert the idea these are just plastic action men smacking against each other. Now here we arefiveissues in, instead of depth and substance, it's all just so much ponderous noise without of anything to say. Read Full Review

Majority of complaints I hear or read on this title have been about its lack of action and it being too realistic. Majority of complaints I hear or read about Larry Hama's "A Real American Hero" title is its cheesiness and it being too unrealistic. Same with the two movies. I am an adult who grew up with the 80s GI JOE. I collected the comic books & watched the cartoons. I enjoyed Larry Hama's run. There were plenty of explosions, colorful soldiers & villains & vehicles, etc. I still have my comic collection today, but I hardly read any of it. If I want to read an old (or not so old) GI JOE comic book, I pick up IDDP's America's Elite or IDW's GI JOE: Cobra. IDW's GI JOE Volume 4 is more realistic than GI JOE: Cobra, and I don't mind more
