review:
When I think of G.I. Joe, I guess I still think of the cartoon and the toys, so I was pleasantly surprised by the stories in this volume. There is the usual action, of course, but there is a depth to the characters that was quite satisfying.
In the first story, Mainframe is injured while on a mission. During his recovery, he starts finding shadowy leads to a hidden organization that needs further investigation. When he can't convince his superiors, he decides to take matters into his own hands.
The second story line, and the one that takes the bulk of the book, features Charmer as a deep undercover operative. He gets in so deep that he is forced to make tough choices to finish the mission. The story is complex and well written with good action. The final story features characters in the Charmer storyline, and to explain it would be spoilerish.
As stated, writing was quite good. Art style varied per storyline, but was executed competently. Flashbacks in Charmer's storyline were faded, so it was really easy to distinguish the present and past.
