Yes, the trip in the way back machine continues as I look back and try to fill in some holes from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and 25th Anniversary era. Today, the victim is Arctic Snake Eyes. Check out the Rise of Cobra Review Page, or just hit up the review itself right here.
So last month when I reviewed Issue #26, I praised the art and the overall story, but was disappointed that this particular story was put where it was. A cool and fun tale, but it didn’t serve well as the culminating issue of a two-year long story arc.
I agreed to give Dixon one more chance to surprise me, and with Issue #27 hitting this week, it’s time to say whether he pulled it off.

This is it…the final issue in the so-called “Season One” arc of the mainstream G.I. Joe title from IDW. It’s been a roller coaster ride, through various ups and downs, and I’ll be the first to say that issue #26 was one of the downs. The story itself was exciting, the art was great, but it felt a bit like wasted potential for all of this build up to feature essentially the two character we know and feel the least about. We’ll see if Chuck Dixon can make amends with issue #27 tomorrow. Check out the 5-Page preview below.
