Cartoon comic:
Quote:
"Cobra strikes! Paris, Tokyo, and Washington, D.C. are attacked by MegaB.A.T.s, and G.I. Joe is there to fight them! But will the Joe team be enough to stop the extra-large androids from wreaking havoc in these three capital cities? And is there more to the fiendish Cobra Commander?s plans than simple destruction? Find out in ?Three Heads of the Serpent?, the second chapter in this extension of the classic animated adventures of G.I. Joe!
YO JOE!"
Hama comic:
Quote:
"HIGH STAKES Part 2! The next great G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero event continues here! As Cobra remains busy establishing its corrupt casino operations on Cobra Island, the warriors of G.I. Joe are equally busy attempting to covertly infiltrate their arch-enemy?s latest evil scheme. New and classic heroes and villains will fill the pages (including some shocking appearances!) as the fan-favorite creative team of Living Legend Larry Hama and SL Gallant continue their daring march to issue #300 here!"
The contrast between the synopses here is striking.
The Hama comic assures us it has "high stakes" but the description sounds like one of the most boring plots ever to curse the pages of his comic, and it basically warns us it'll be full of his now-usual problems with too much exposition and setup that never actually goes anywhere. Additionally, to try to drum up excitement, it adds that there'll be lots of characters, and we all know how that goes: Cameos in large group scenes and at least one accidental resurrection. I mean, I hope it's good, but that synopsis sounds like the worst of modern Hama in just a few sentences.
The cartoon comic, meanwhile, throws in a plot that imperils three major cities with a fun, goofy threat that is pitch-perfect for the tongue-in-cheek tone of the show. The synopsis also suggests that there's more going on than just what it tells you, and that the Joes may struggle to stop it. Even the title sounds like it could come from one of the mini-series. This comic could still be absolutely terrible, but so far they are hitting all the right notes.
In the end, I hope they're both good. But right now, I know which one I'd rather read.
