BILDOCKER'S DAY OFF! The Special Mission Unit's expert conniver and master scrounger wants to prove he's got as much right to be G.I. JOE as anyone else. BILDOCKER and DIAL-TONE take off on a road trip to the Florida Everglades to cut a deal with one of his shady contacts. But what they find out in the swamp is a weapon of mass destruction auction run by COBRA! Can BILDOCKER talk himself and DIAL-TONE out of becoming gator bait? The art of the deal meets the art of war!
While I enjoy the long plotlines of other G.I. Joe books, its sometimes nice to be able to read a comic from start to finish and not feel like youre missing the beginning and the end of a story. Special Missions has had longer stories in the past, but theyve still only been mostly self-contained two issue tales, rather than massive, year-spanning epics. It harks back to the comics of my childhood, and its nice to have a G.I. Joe book that does that. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE: Special Missions #9 is an interesting issue because it reminds us that there are many jobs various JOEs are called on to do and not all of them are as heroic as those on the front lines. He may not fit the mold, but Bildocker is a vial member of the team. Although we only get a single issue for his story, I wouldn't mind seeing Bildocker pop-up again sometime down the line. Worth a look. Read Full Review
All in all, there are plenty of people I suspect will like this title. It has its merits… it just doesn't fit in among the rest of Special Missions. Back to the regular plot, please. Read Full Review
