A STANDALONE NIGHT FORCE COVERT OP! The iconic ROADBLOCK makes his Energon Universe FIRST APPEARANCE...but will he be the newest recruit of Lady Jaye & Flint’s Night Force? Or will he join a different group?!
GI Joe 18 marked a nice cool down after The Dreadnok War while further supplementing the Night Force ranks. Maybe its time for a spin-off Night Force mini-series (or ongoing) title? Even if its just in these smaller doses, the NF spotlights are always welcome as Williamson and company head to a major showdown next month with Duke confronting Hound and Clutch. Read Full Review

G.I. JOE #18 is an excellent example of how to introduce a character. Roadblock's introduction into the Energon Universe emphasized what makes the character great. Making him a defender of the community he lives in does a lot to help separate himself from how other JOEs have been presented. He is a much needed character in the cast and hopefully is a permanent presence in this series in the near future. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE #18 is a solid pivot away from the desert war and into character setup for the next phase. If you care about Roadblock as a character or the larger Energon Universe infrastructure, this issue does the work to make you invested in what comes next. The action is clean, the humor lands, and the frame of a retired warrior choosing principle over opportunity is genuinely compelling. If your comic budget runs thin and you only read the big arc chapters, you can skip this and pick up the next issue without major confusion. Read Full Review
