Another good episode. I love the way they are building out this universe. Also cool to see them use the Classified looks of some of the characters in here. Can't wait for issue 3 to see what a certain lady's plans are for Duke and his buddy.

The non-traditional art detracts from the story for me, which at this point is heavy on set up and light on anything else. It's intriguing enough for me to stick with it, but as far as the EU goes Cobra Commander is much better IMO.

Man. I want to stay positive, but Williamson's weaknesses as a storyteller are really showing. While I really enjoyed the character interactions between Duke and Clutch, the majority of this issue was just a big fight that didn't go anywhere - you definitely could have achieved the same results in half the page count. And -- for the third time in three issues by Williamson! -- we end on a big splash panel of "hey, it's this classic character! Tune in next time to see what happens with them!"
Still, the art is gorgeous - Bellaire's colours really complement Reilly's action sequences. I just really hope that we get some more meat on these bones soon, because I dunno that I'm going to be able to stick with storytelling this anemic when the "Codename G.I. Joe" ongoing starts up. |

I like the art...it's not as obnoxiously cartoony as a lot of current comic artists are.
And I like the story so far too, except that the pacing sucks. I got to the last page and was like "It's over already??" Entire issue was about 8 pages of actual content stretched super thin as padding. |

Honestly, Part of me likes this issue better than the first. It was a lot more character focused and let the plot slow down for a moment. I really enjoyed the way Clutch was characterized, and Rock and Roll built up a lot of personality considering how little dialogue he had. The art continues to wow me. This art way better than anything we got with IDW. I also liked that despite being in the same continuity with things like Cobra La, the action feels very grounded. Looking forward to #3!

I liked it. Like Stalker referencing Snake Eyes. I definitely think the Baroness is going to be a problem and manipulate things to her advantage.
