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

Reilly offers some great minimalistic art throughout the issue and there are some key moments that are brilliantly detailed to set the tone of the scene. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE #1 is a hell of a start that's great for long time fans and new readers. Skybound really has done an amazing job in its Energon Universe building it one chapter at a time and through four mini-series, a fresh new take on a property that has been around for decades. Yo JOE! Read Full Review
It is undeniable and inevitable that things will be moving in a direction greater integration as the Energon Universe continues to develop. What had been a simple and pragmatic solution to gunfire in cheap animation back in the 1980s becomes a central plot in a first issue of a new series. The laser rifle style action of the old animated series is given a bit of a sinister look here in an issue that lends considerable darkness to the final splash page. It is that final page that really drives the fact that the new series is NOT a weak iteration of the old franchise. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE #1 is a perfectly serviceable start to the Energon Universe's version of G. I. Joe. Joshua Williamson leans heavily on introductions and setup, which existing Energon readers may find redundant, but the setup works well enough. Tom Reilly's art is rock-solid, but it's hindered by Jordie Bellaire's off-putting coloring style. Read Full Review
While still a solid issue, I would have personally liked more bombastic action for the first issue of the new G.I. Joe comic, as well as more connections to the other prologue comics. This should have been an Avengers movie-style event, considering all the build up. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE #1 ties together what came before with something new in a thrilling story, from an exceptional cast of creators, featuring a team of characters familiar and fresh coming together to face a threat they don't stand a chance against. Read Full Review
Skybound's meticulous reintroduction of G.I. Joe IP into the Energon Universe reaches its culmination with Joshua Williamson and Tom Reilly's electrifying debut issue. Building upon the foundations laid by recent miniseries Duke, Cobra Commander, Scarlett, and Destro, G.I. Joe #1 masterfully weaves together plot threads that have been expertly laid out on the chessboard over the past year, propelling the franchise forward with exciting momentum.
Williamson establishes Duke as the leader he was destined to become, showcasing growth from his titular miniseries and a new sense of hesitation when faced with the daunting reality of leading a team against Cobra Commander’s formidable alliance of villains. The lineup of his newly form more
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.
I am not a fan of the splash coloring in this book. I hope we gets some variety in the future. It begins with an intro to the team knowing that the Baroness is eventually going to betray the team. It seems that there is a quick death by the end, but let's see if that is true or not. It's a good start, but I'mwaiting to see the actual plot.
