GI Joe Reloaded (Devil’s Due Publishing): Issues 1-6, plus GI Joe and Cobra Reborn #1. This kicks off a new continuity with the Joe characters from scratch with none of the previous plot lines.

I was game to try it and the Reborn issues were amazing but once you get into the actual story it just went downhill. I won’t ruin any surprises here, but let’s just say their promises of new and exciting departures from the original series weren’t delivered. It’s still GI Joe so it wasn’t terrible but I wouldn’t read them again.

Catching up on older G.I. Joe runs.
I am enjoying this story line. A vastly outnumbered force of Joes vs Cobra. Hardy seems a fair fight. Now on to read Volume 2 and see how the Joes get out of this mess!

The G. I Joe story I always wanted to rear, their origin. Nice art and writing made this a great read. Recommended
