We posted a preview already, but we were so excited about this week’s G.I. Joe: Origins #12, we couldn’t wait to get you a review of it. So staff member joshdahl jumped right on it. He has written a very in-depth review of the issue. Origins #12 is written by Marc Andreyko with artwork by Ben Templesmith and will be available tomorrow, February 3rd.
