I actually enjoyed this issue. This version of Scarlett reminds me of how Hama first portrayed her. The fight between Jinx and her was priceless. And all the JOEs trying to hold Red down so the effeminate Tiger could get a "hit in..." That alone was worth the price of the issue!
Besides Major Bludd, we get to see our 2nd main villain of the series. I'm really intrigued to see how he develops, but won't be surprised if he's playing both sides. Cover Girl... (Sigh!) This was a missed opportunity to use Mayday from the IDW "Revolutionaries." I wonder what would have happened if Stalker had been portrayed as Caucasian? It doesn't go down so smooth, does it? Kind of uncomfortable if this (now common) trope is reversed. Anyway, again, it's not a deal breaker for me. I'll stay with the series until the end, even if they make Gung-Ho and Shipwreck lovers again. (Thanks, Sitterson!) |

I read the two issues. Perhaps you guys all know about free comics online or whatever the website is, so I figured, why not read them.
It just isn't GI Joe to me. The plot has been overdone already, and I just can't take this seriously. Highly trained special missions force has become highly strung special ed. I figure another couple of issues and somehow, the Cobra takeover becomes Trump's fault. |

I skimmed over 2, since the summary was already up here. I did like the plot twist at the end.
I think I might only keep it on my pull list just for the profiles at the back of the book. So far the only profile that is RAH compatible is Hawk. Obviously Tiger and Frontier are new, but Jinx is from Liberal Ill. aka Chacago, and named Elaine Song. |

Finally got around to read 1st 2 issues. I enjoyed them and looking forward to see where it goes. I like bold moves like killing Duke in first few pages and having Destro as an armorer for the Joes. I don't need ARAH 2.0, since I can enjoy the original, so different is good as an alternative. The only thing that is important to me is that the characters themselves are faithful to their personalities, which was my main complaint in regards to the Sitterson Joe comics, as everyone was written as childish, bickering hot-heads.
As for weak points so far, I'm not yet sold on Tiger. He's been rather annoying to be honest. I also couldn't help compare Scarlett naming him to Mary Jane bestowing "Tiger" onto Peter Parker. Also, Frontier is clearly Flint, but the name has been changed as to not upset fans by changing his background lol. At first, I thought he may have been based on some South American Flint repaint toy, but no, just "repainted" for this comic lol.

According to the author, "Old-school G.I. Joe fans will absolutely love it and find it true to everything G.I. Joe stands for, and new folks will be attracted to a deeply character-driven tale of hope and humanity, and about the power of resilience in an increasingly unraveling world."
I haven't read it yet.
