I thought it was okay. My major concerns which were as expected, and that is that the concept is beyond belief to me. This story would have made more sense when Cobra was still in hiding during the beginning of IDW's run. The fact that the Joes go from people that "don't exist" to being publicly known fighting a well known terrorist group and now that terrorist group is a good group and well respected all over the world just is just a bad plot point. And of course the obvious get out of jail free card is we don't know what happened in the last 5 years to make this happen so that is the macguffin.
on the positive side...I do feel this writer has a good voice. Most of the dialogue was good. The art was also good. I like the way scarlett was drawn and loved how her costume very closely resembled her renegades costume. I thought it was disappointing and odd that the Baroness's costume was exactly the same as always but her Cobra insignia was gone. You would think with them being essentially okay to dawn their symbol she would wear it. Without it she just feels like any female with black vinyl on.
I think some of the plot points feel predictable...especially the stuff with Siren and her son.
