Street Fighter X G.I. Joe #1 Review Six Page Preview.
The fist good G.I. Joe book in a long time. They even added new file cards at the back of the book. Street Fighter X G.I. Joe #1 Review Six Page Preview. - HissTank.com

I'll be picking up my copy tomorrow and I ordered a signed copy of the NinjaInk variant cover edition. Been looking forward to this series since last summer I'm sure it'll be as much fun as the Danger Girl crossover.

Crimson Viper is actually a lot of fun to fight with in game.

Wow. Never have I seen a preview turn my opinion 180 degrees before. I don't get the context, one iota (why would Joes enter this thing?), but the action/art/dialogue is all pretty fantastic.

Overall, this looks good. I like the art, the fight is well done, and I love all the characters, so I'll definitely be buying these. I'm not expecting deep character studies here. Street Fighter is all about people beating each other up for no discernible reason, so I'm not terribly concerned with the story.
My one criticism is the line where Crimson Viper is surprised because "Ninjas can't counter Judo." First, the notion that one style of martial art is just completely ineffectual against another is just Hollywood. Second, Judo was descended from Jujitsu, which was itself a school of combat practiced by Sengoku-era Samurai and emphasizes submission locks and throws. If I were a ninja, the FIRST thing I would figure out is how to counter Samurai techniques. Sounds to me like the writer just needed a line to demonstrate Viper's hubris, and just picked the first martial arts vocabulary word he came across, which is a pretty common occurrence in all comics (GI Joe itself often uses military jargon in a clunky or ham-fisted manner).
