Review of G.I. Joe #21 from IDW Publishing

Posted by WildWeasel on Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

reviews-coffee From IDW Publishing this week is G.I. Joe #21 and we have a review of this issue for you. Picking up from last issue, the Joes are investigating some leads that just might take them to Cobra. One team of Joes have found a massive sub just off a deserted island, where another team investigates, and have boarded the sub only to find the engaged in a fight with Cobra! So what does staff member Andy (abart01) think of this issue? Well read his review to find out.

“Despite these shortcomings, I still found this issue to be a fun read. It was good to finally get a full issue’s worth of action, something we really haven’t seen since the Cobra scouting mission to the Pit. And, I found myself wanting to see more of the Cobra sub commander, Captain Vicuna; he’s a fun, ruthless new character I hope we get to see again.”
