review:
'Street Fighter X G.I. Joe' by Aubrey Sitterson and Emilio Laiso is a graphic novel version of a video game fight, and it's fun in it's own way.

M. Bison and Destro seem to be running things on a secret island and the only way to defeat them will be for some of the G.I. Joe team and fighters from Street Fighter to compete in a series of fights. The fights start at eight fights and bracket down to one big fight, but who will emerge victorious.

There are good guys and bad guys fighting on each team, so you have to just set that aside and approach this like you would a player selection screen in a video game, but in this case, the combatants have been chosen for you. So you have ridiculous Rufus fighting The Baroness. If you ask me, there was way too much Rufus in this book fro my taste. Roadbloack fights Hakan, etc. You get the picture. Then the winners of those fights fight each other.

There is enough dialogue and plot to keep it interesting, and it should please people who like "what if" scenarios. The art is decent, but there wasn't enough here to keep me all that interested.

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