They suckered another issue out of me, but it was more of the same: heavy focus on two new guys I really don't have reason to give a crap about, lots of political maneuvering, very little action or excitement (hell, I think the Joes themselves are in the comic less than 1/3 of the time!)
Nifty to see Duke and Big Ben, but again, that "5 year gap" basically leaves it unexplained why neither was still with GI Joe or why they left, and I don't see how their arc is going to play out.
I really don't mind "slow burn" stories, but they need to be mitigated with stuff to keep me interested in each issue. Traviss isn't doing that. She's writing this like a novel, not a comic book.
In the end, nothing has been done to address a big issue I have: what is Cobra's end game? WHY is Cobra playing nice, and what do they hope to achieve? How does Cobra Commander play into this?
In other words, give me a damn reason to keep reading to see how things play out!
