Issue #306 never gets boring. Hama, Pelletier and company ensure that there's something interesting playing out at all times as this new era of G.I. Joe RAH keeps rolling strong. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO #306 delivers military-style action, surprises, twists, turns, more twists, and more turns for an issue that confirms the last person on Earth you should trust is Serpentor. The guest artist team does a banger of a job living up to Chris Mooneyham's work, and Hama's script has enough plot developments (perhaps too much) to keep you guessing for weeks about what comes next.

Larry Hama shows off his skills navigating the multiple complex subplots he's created so far. There are crosses, double-crosses, & what I think is now a triple-cross? It's a little hard to keep track, but darn is it exciting! Hama expertly weaves a thrilling narrative that kept me the edge of my seat w/ captivating characters.
The numerous plot threads are a bit of double-edged sword though. The downside in this issue is that the Joes take a backseat, and we only catch a brief glimpse of the events unfolding in Springfield, minus Cobra Commander. The focus on other characters & plotlines is a deliberate choice that adds depth to the story as Hama builds tension amongst the villainous factions.
