G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds #1 Review

Posted by WildWeasel on Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

reviews-coffee From IDW this week comes a new G.I. Joe mini-series from author Max Brooks. G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds #1 hits your local comic shop tomorrow, Wednesday May 26th. We shared with you a preview of this book earlier and now we have a review for you as well. Sure to be of some controversy, Hearts & Minds #1 focuses on Major Bludd in the first half with art by Howard Chaykin and Spirit in the second half with art by Antonio Fuso. Each half gives us a unique look into these characters that you probably just wouldn’t find in the regular series. So what does Terror Drome staff member joshdahl have to say?

“On the other hand, if you miss the ARAH style file cards for all they told you about the personalities of these characters, and you want some cool art to go with it, then you will love this book as much as I did.”
