Well that was way too good to be in a GI Joe comic.

I'm of two minds with this comic book special.
On the one hand, I enjoyed it immensely as a GI Joe fan (and that's the most important thing, really). On the other, it sort of made me feel a little uneasy seeing somebody try to replicate one of the more unique and distinct storytelling devices from Moore and Gibbons' Watchmen. It's like watching a good band cover a classic song... there's always this part of my brain just waiting for them to screw up. My neurosis aside, I heartily recommend this book to anyone. This (and the Christos Gage penned mini-series that preceded it) is what I want to see in a contemporary GI Joe comic book: writing that panders neither to nostalgia or popular sentiment, just solid stand-alone military fiction that takes what works from the original property, but doesn't come off as a re-hashing of old and established stories from ARAH's 25 year old comic book history. |
