JOE NINJAS VS COBRA MUTANTS! Storm Shadow and Dawn fight through Cobra’s monstrous forces in search of vital intel. But Cobra Commander is always one step ahead...or is he?
Mirroring subplots aside, Hama continues to make A Real American Hero an exciting read while incorporating a larger cast than usual. Of course some fan favorites don't get as much 'screen time' thanks to the constant presence of the Ninja Force, but it's nice to see another squad getting semi-regular status on the title beyond the various Cobra/Revance/Destro machinations.

The current storyline is a “between arcs” kind of piece where it does a lot with several characters, but it is mostly just intel gathering for the Joes and a lot of reconstruction for the Cobras in different ways. There are interesting bits to be sure with both, such as enjoying watching Destro manipulate the situation again, while also getting to see Stormshadow and Dawn doing some solid recon. I'm still wary of the whole Revanche thing as it just takes me out of things a bit too much, but when you have Dr. Mindbender showing up with a frozen Serpentor, wel, anything goes. I do miss the days of more grounded GI Joe, but some forty years later it's no surprise that it has gotten more outlandish along the way. Read Full Review
