It was a good one off. I have no opinion of Beach Head one way or the other so I couldn?t get too excited about it ahead of time, so it was pleasantly surprising and fun. I won?t likely seek out other works by this creator but I?m glad he got to tell this story. What did others here think?

Not a bad issue. Nothing earth shattering, IMO, but done well enough.

I didn't get this one. I think the only one I preordered is the Spirit one. I'm hoping they will be collected and I can grab them all that way.

Fun issue. Beach head is my favorite Joe, so good to see a one-off starring him.

Nothing ground breaking, but a good story.

The only one I probably won?t get is Jinx. I don?t care for the character and the art looks pretty awful based on what I?ve seen. I like the concept of one shot character spotlights, though, and would love to seem them more regularly.

Fun fact - the tpb will be printed on newsprint stock similar to softcover compendium

Jinx might be my favourite. But I like the Frank Miller Sin City type style of art that Dani is known for. Tastes vary and that's OK.
