SUPERSTAR CREATORS PRESENT UNFORGETTABLE ALL NEW G.I. JOE SILENT MISSIONS
The face of comic books changed forever when G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO #21 introduced fans to the “Silent Interlude,” an action-packed story with NO DIALOGUE. Now, in a standalone silent issue, the chart-topping team of DANI (Arkham City: The Order of the World) and DAN WATTERS (DESTRO, UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON LIVES!) put the iconic G.I. Joe ninja Jinx in the most dangerous mission of her life. She has 20 seconds—and 20 pages of real-time action—to escape a Cobra base on a snowy mountain of death.
So...the issue retails for $3.99 It works out to being roughly 19.95 cents per second. Its actually worth it. Dani has done a remarkable job of making it all come together with such vivid visuals. Between this issue and the issue that came out last week, Skybound/Images monthlong Silent Missions series is half finished. Dani has done such an engagingly good job with this issue that it would be very difficult to top. Read Full Review
Jinx steps into a thrilling spotlight for her silent mission. The writing constructs a fantastic concept to build from. Panels are full of life with the lead making an impact in the shadows. Fans shouldnt be quiet about what is happening here. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Jinx #1 is a solid homage and way to honor the classic G.I. JOE tale that the concept spins out of. It has a style that feels like it's out of the 80s in some ways, with a dirty, gritty look that focuses in on the action. It might not have any "words but it's a comic you'll linger on the page pouring over the details of the art which tell you all you need to know. Read Full Review
Jinxs silent interlude chapter is fairly smooth with a character that benefits from the storytelling format. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO JINX presents a silent one-shot showcasing Jinx's prowess as one of G.I. Joe's deadliest ninja operatives. Dan Watters's script uses a clever setup to kick the story into high tension and urgency from page one, and Dani's stylistic art is solid. That said, the pace of the art doesn't match the pace of the gimmick, so the immersion is lacking. Read Full Review
Lovely art but a little thin in terms of story. Reads a bit too quickly...
Better than the previous Silent Mission. At least this one makes the most of the experimental angle. The Miller-esque illustrations work, even if they are not as ground-shaking anymore in this day and age.
