This was about as good as the movie.

[Bret Sarbieski]

This book is the graphic version of the G.I. Joe movie. Essentially a rouge terrorist organization with incredible technological advances manages to steal a case full of nanobots that could potentially be used for combat purposes. The only group that has a chance to stop the rouge group is an elite group whose members are known as "Joes". I rather liked the movie, therefore I rather liked the graphic novel as well. I recommend this book if you're a G.I. Joe fan or just enjoy military style novels.

what i get from this graphic novel is that the movie is going to be soooo much visual candy that a graphic novel can't do it justice. i don't really feel like seeing the movie now...the story did nothing for me.
