G.I. Joe #2 doesnt let up on the action and high stakes. This creative team is doing some inspired work and its already seeming like this title is a cant miss option. Read Full Review
COBRA strikes first blood, but Duke refuses to back down quietly. Williamsons writing runs the gamut of excitement. Reilly, Bellaire and Wooton brings the action and drama perfectly fitting this new era. What a time to be a fan of this fandom! Dont miss this! Read Full Review
G.I. JOE #2 is a solid issue that really focuses on the personalities and dynamics in the two sides at play. Each has issues and neither is smooth in their operations. It's a bumpy ride for both but boy is it an entertaining one. Read Full Review
G.I. Joe #2 is a thrilling action-heavy ride that leans on spectacle and heroics rather than character depth or plot complexity. With Tom Reilly's art and an unrelenting pace, fans of explosive battles and badass moments will find plenty to love here, even if they'll crave a bit more substance. Read Full Review
So that final page in the first issue stuck. They killed off a team member in the first issue. Wow, so we know that the stakes are high in this series and we might not want to get too attached to characters. Good to know.
This one was a real slog of a fight and really is starting off the series with the Joe's at their lowest point. Everyone is dead, injured, missing or... well injured even worse. Given where the Energon universe is, this is really quite intense, but the Energon universe really is a bunch of rather intense books. If you like action well here it is! Enjoy!
