Review

The creative team of Larry Hama and Agustin Padilla bring you another action packed issue of GI Joe A Real American Hero! The issue opens up with an eye-opening splash page by Padilla. His work continues to be a good fit for this series. It lends itself well to Hama's action-filled script. It looks more dynamic than his work on OPERATION HISS. The only thing I wonder about is the random specks of ink, seen in almost every panel.

In this issue, we find the Joes trying to infiltrate the Silent Castle. What ensues in this castle makes for some explosive action. Some comics tend to just have an awesome splash page, and that's it. This issue isn't like that, the art work gets more dynamic as you read on. Remember, the Joes are at a disadvantage, they are fighting on Cobra's turf. It's not just that, Hawk is on the run on his own, facing danger at every corner too!

Snake Eyes is awesome in this issue, but this issue also proves that IDW is writing him as a invincible super ninja. He isn't a dues ex machina, and he certainly isn't saving the day. So those of you worried about him being in here and Hama writing this issue, have nothing to worry about. This issue, if anything, focuses on teamwork amongst the Joe team members; a gestalt of you will.

Meanwhile Destro may have something worry about, as Billy and The Baroness are quite close, and the Brainwave scanner's influence(as well as a certain Doctor's) is great...Also, Cobra Commander receives some "new toys" to play with, that we will probably see in the next issue, and may bring back some memories.

Overall this issue, was pretty enjoyable. It does not disappoint and is worth picking up.
