  We get a new updated look to familiar characters keeping them familiar. I'll say it again, these GI Joe reboots are amazing and for the best. It's never a bad idea to refresh stuff to make it awesome again! If you're reading one of the new Joe books I suggest you pick them all up"you won't regret it. Read Full Review

  Unleash The Fanboy - Edward

  Finally, you can't ignore the full-art on each page. There is little to no white-space. With tight frames and decent paneling, you certainly get your money's worth of art on each and every page. If this continues, G.I Joe: Special Missions could prove a very rewarding series. Read Full Review

  I'm glad to see Dixon getting another G.I. JOE title, although the covert team is sorely missing the most covert JOE of all - Snake Eyes. We'll have to wait and see if the still presumed dead JOE turns up or if Dixon has any plans for the masked man's protege Helix in the coming months. Worth a look. Read Full Review

  Comic Bastards - Eric Biewenga

  Out of the new G.I. Joe books coming out this one is a pick up. It has strong characters and a decent story. You are going to have to look past some of the art. I enjoy that this isn’t Duke vs. Cobra Commander but the strong female leads to grow those characters. I would name this more Secret Mission instead of Special Missions though. Read Full Review

  Weekly Comic Book Review - Dean Stell

  This series is going to struggle if it looks like this. $3.99 for a decompressed story with poor art is not going to move many units of the second-tier GI Joe book. Read Full Review
