The book build momentum through the issue and the hope is that the momentum keeps ramping up through this series. The artwork makes this book stand out but the hope is that we gain some more personal stakes between the heroes and the villains. This may come though the inevitable connection of Baroness with Destro but we need this conflict to feel personal for each and every character featured here. For now the classic setup and incredible art are enjoyable, but one hopes there are some major twists to come to give our heroes some emotional stakes. Read Full Review

A great start. I’m glad the Energon Universe is moving forward with three ongoings rather than multiple miniseries.
Jordie Bellaire’s colors were really neat and add a unique flavor to this book, I hope they stay around.
Man, the energon universe is really, really good. If you are thinking about picking this up... Do it. It is fantastic. If you were a fan of the cartoon you will absolutely love this book. It's a good start to a story, and it'll be really cool to see when GI Joe and Cobra really go at it! The way they are introducing everything is briliant in my opinion. I really like the art as well. This is a fast read, that I'll probably read again.
This was very solid. This is my first time reading gi joe amd it was easy to understand. Art is good and the storybso far is engaging.
A solid first issue with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.
