  I was going to give the book a B+ because some of the art looked a little weird and because I’m trying not to just throw out A’s willy-nilly. But then I re-read it and… you know what? I’m going to go ahead and give it an A anyway. The thing is, there’s nothing particularly wrong with the art (it’s better than a lot of stuff I’ve seen), it just isn’t my style. Maybe an A- would be more appropriate, but my overwhelming love of G.I. Joe and my excitement over reading a book that gives me the same feeling I had back when I was a kid cancels out any problems I have with the art. G.I. Joe fans, the time to rejoice has come. The movie might suck, the new books might not be great, but at least for the duration of this mini-series, G.I. Joe is back. Read Full Review
