G.I. JOE #10 is an excellent continuation of the spotlight Baroness and Cover Girl are getting. Major Bludd and Raptor thrive in their roles as villains that make you love to hate them and cheer for Baroness and Cover Girl. Adding in the progression of various series sub-plots led to another fantastic chapter in the Energon Universe. Read Full Review

A solid issue with three plots running simultaneously …
The “A Plot” deals with Baroness and Covergirl at the mercy of Major Blood. Things play out as expected … leading into the next issue. This plot is the most interesting as it deals with characters and their motivations. Also never expected to like Raptor as a character (as a kid I thought he was a pretty silly toy) but there is a real danger to him within Williamson’s script.

The “B Plot” follows Clutch and his Autobot friend Hound as they investigate Cobra weapons and their connection to Energon. I don’t normally like it when the Transformers are tightly intertwined into GI Joe stories, but Clutch & Hound make a great pair. This plot also drops in the newer Joe character Risk … who I believe is more than meets the eye.

The “C Plot” has Destro trying to suss out the machinations of Cobra Commander and this plot is probably the most … strange … as it seems to be dipping back into the Cobra-La side of the Energon Universe. I didn’t like that aspect of the animated movie … but it’s not as silly in the comics, so I’ll go with it. Destro’s mission for Mercer (speaking of the animated movie) brings plot B & C together for the cliffhanger at the end.

A good, if not somewhat predictable issue. I will continue to highly recommend this series and all of the other Energon Universe books.

Also … not a spoiler … but a guess … I’m putting this out there now - I believe that Risk is Zartan - let’s see if I’m proven wrong in the months that come. more
