review:
I'll confess to not being the biggest fan of the G.I. Joe cartoon, but I find the comics to be enjoyable reading. 'G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes, Agent of Cobra' is no exception.

The book kind of dumps the reader into the middle of a story, but that's okay. Destro is being transferred between prisons and there is a daring breakout by Snake Eyes, who is apparently under COBRA's control. This isn't explained in the confines of this graphic novel, so it does leave the reader in a state of shock. Destro then asks Snake Eyes to find his son, Billy. Billy is on the run and being protected by Ronin, but there are some dangerous people after him, and Snake Eyes will have to fight his way to Billy.

It's a good action book. While some of it feels confusing, the story in these pages is written well by Mike Costa. There are pages of fight scenes and good clean art by Paolo Villanelli. I like the direction IDW has taken this series, but I recognize that it may not be for long time fans. Certainly the idea of Snake Eyes working for COBRA is a wild idea, but I enjoyed this fast paced read.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
