If you’re anything like me, you’re absolutely itching to get invested in the G.I. Joe: Retaliation universe. With so many questions left open from the Rise of Cobra, and such an excitement surrounding this new universe, I for one cannot wait to read more about it.
Well, IDW has come through, as they usually do, with a movie prequel mini-series! The first issue just hit, and you can click the Read The Rest of the Story link below for the full review.

I ran a bit behind last week getting the IDW reviews posted, but I don’t intend to make that mistake this week, especially as Cobra Command continues on and we finally get at least a little bit of interaction between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
I’m the last person to complain about a lack of ninja conflict within the G.I. Joe universe, but IDW has really been dragging out the whole Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow dynamic. Apparently they’re moving closer to a resolution here as Snake Eyes wades neck deep into Red Ninja territory.

Cobra Command continues here!
As mentioned in the Real American Hero #175 review, toy and Super Bowl news overshadowed my focus on the comics universe, but I’m trying to change that this week, especially because the Cobra Command storyline is hitting it on all cylinders.

I know I’m dragging a little late with this particular review, but with all of the toy news and the intel about the Super Bowl TV spot I hadn’t really had time to make it happen. Well, I’m rectifying that this morning!

Pretty much since day one, IDW’s Cobra title has been very unique among the other G.I. Joe titles. It had a very distinct writing style and an even more unique art style, which immediately brought it out of the “high octane” action world and into a crime noir episodic world.
So what was going to happen when IDW brought Cobra into the more mainstream style? Well, it loses some of its unique charm, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad issue. Click the Read the Rest of this Entry link below for the details.

I find myself looking forward to the Real American Hero title every month, but this week…wow. Seems like we got some IDW G.I. Joe overload. I really found myself loving the issues dealing with the modern style of IDW G.I. Joe comics this week, so suddenly being thrust back into the old school Marvel Universe was a bit jarring, but still a lot of fun.
We get a lot more tank action, some more convoluted military stylings, and a whole lotta Larry Hama goodness.
