With
Road Block’s ninja training somewhat complete, he and Snake Eyes have uncovered
a plot in which Zartan and Storm Shadow are planning to infiltrate NORAD based
on information given to them by a tortured Joe. As Block and Snake seek out the
Cobras from inside, Gen. Hawk and the rest of his team must shoot their way
into Strategic Air Command without killing any of the Army soldiers stationed
inside. This task may seem impossible, but the fate of the free world is at
stake and these are the GI Joes we’re talking about.
I
thought this was a great closing chapter to the prequel series published by
IDW. I now know the time frame of this series. In one scene Zartan receives a
communication by Dr. Mindbender. If you saw the first film, you’d know that
really Mindbender was Cobra Commander in disguise. Thus, this prequel is not
only a prequel to Retaliation but the first Joe movie as well. (That also
explains why Duke is not featured in this book, as he wasn’t a member yet.)
I
thought overall that this was a good story and I am syked and ready to watch GI
Joe: Retaliation which is currently languishing on my DVR. Very good art
throughout this book as well with very good representations of several of the
actors.
Worth
Consuming.
Rating:
10 out of 10 stars.
