review:

Now that G.I. Joe is out in the open, they are sent on a small mission that's supposed to end with press coverage. Eight Joes head to a small town, but they are ambushed by COBRA and a militarized population of townspeople who believe the Joes are part of a government conspiracy.



With the team split in 2 and no way to communicate with the outside world, the team must reunite the medic with the severely injured team member. There is also a new team member who is unskilled in combat. In addition, the town has been wired with explosives. So the objectives are to leave no man behind, don't kill innocents and save the town. Easy, right?



This was pretty good. There are all the usual G.I. Joe references and one of the issues gives a good back story on Duke. The art by Steve Kurth was really enjoyable and while this is Volume 1, the story wraps in this volume.
