A Real American Hero: Year One.
I kinda feel like Renegades is the definitive take on the early years of G.I. Joe and I'm already comparing it to that in my head. |

Just throwing English words into Google Translate and think you're really getting the Japanese name of Snake-Eyes? Seriously? It's not even close to being accurate in the sense of a named person. Even as his code name it's just dumb because that isn't how it's been handled in the past.
Kinda just phoning this series in? But I was out when I realized Scarlett was a kid. I get that this book is for kids (IIRC?) but maybe, just maybe... GI Joe might work better now as a brand for adults and young adults? |

These quotes from the author themself(?) may alleviate many of the concerns over the book's content/quality. Or, then again, maybe not ...

You're welcome!

The defiant proclamations of grown men refusing to read a book aimed at 8-12 year olds makes me chuckle.
