Good start to a new reimagining

very good start to another G. I. Joe reimagining. Solid character focus and very good art. The only complaint I have - like many others - is that so far the series is much slower than any of its predecessors, but since this is the very beginning, I'd overlook it. Hopefully it'll pick up with later volumes.

Great fun!

I understand some of the complaints that the story developed too slowly but they crammed enough entertaining action in along the way that they made it worthwhile. I'm a big fan of Dixon's writing back from the early Punisher work he did and he appears to still be at the top of his game. I also really enjoyed the way they utilized Snake-eyes by really building up the mystery around his actions. Too bad the filmmakers didn't use this for their script.
