    Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez

    Apr 08, 2026

    G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Sssilent Missions: Crimson Guard #1 is a sharp, technical achievement that reminds you why this franchise remains relevant when handled by creators who prioritize visual clarity. The art is kinetic and carries the weight of a betrayal that needs no words to sting. Even if the Joes are just background noise here, the focus on the Commander’s ruthlessness makes the entry fee feel like a fair trade. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

    Apr 08, 2026

    Most of the fun in this particular series of ”Sssilent Missions” lies simply in watching them tell a number of different stories without any text at all. And there are 1 million ways to do that. The series of one shot doesn't necessarily do a good job of providing a range of different experiences. That being said, it's still a lot of fun. The basic elements of action don't necessarily require a whole lot of dialogue or background or anything like that. It's been a lot of fun seeing how streamlined everything can be in commercially-driven sequential art. Read Full Review

    This is a vicious little Cobra thriller that proves silent comics still have plenty of ammo when creators know exactly what they are doing. For G.I. Joe fans, it is a slick reminder that this franchise still has bite. For comics readers in general, it is a lesson in how much storytelling power can live in a page when the craft is this locked in. Skybound and Image brought the heat with this one. Comic Crusaders salute that smoke! Read Full Review

    Despite its unwieldy title, G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Sssilent Missions Crimson Guard #1 is a tight, compact story, one which manages to tell a compelling, action-packed story that is both silent and starring a nameless, faceless unknown character. Read Full Review
