G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #301
SCORE: 58
I was a bit bummed when the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero comic book
series over at IDW Publishing ended. I had come back to the comic book
industry and started getting back in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero
again. Larry Hama hinted that something else was coming. G.I. Joe A Real
American Hero #301 is published by Image Comics. Honestly my opinion of
Image Comics is pretty low. I am not sure why Hasbro moved the license.
There will be spoilers in this review.
G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #301 picks up where the IDW Publishing
series ended. We have Serpentor Khan in control of Cobra Island about to
launch a biological weapon on his own island and his own people. G.I.
Joe is about to crash into the Cobra Casino in their C-130 airplane.
Others are trying to get away from the island so they will not wind up
hit with the biological weapon.
The artwork over at IDW Publishing was nice, clean, crisp, and clear.
G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #301 is ugly looking. The art is dirty,
noisy, irritating, annoying, and plain ugly. I guess this is the
direction Hasbro wanted to take G.I. Joe A Real American Hero. Honestly
I am not impressed. I noticed Transformers has a new series from Image
Comics and it is so ugly looking I could not even consider purchasing
it. I might drop G.I. Joe A Real American Hero if this art work
continues.
There is some violent content in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #301.
Cobra Commander wants to leave and winds up killing Sean's dad to
escape. Cobra Commander tries to go back to the island and sees the
bio-weapon go off. Cobra Commander turns around and just avoids getting
hit by this weapon. What does this bio-weapon do? It turns characters
into zombie like creatures that want to consume the flesh of others.
G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #301 took a real dark turn. I am not very
impressed with the direction of this comic either. We do not need more
zombie garbage, and especially not in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero.
There are twenty-two pages of comic book content within G.I. Joe A Real
American Hero #301. There is also a page from the desk of Larry Hama,
from the desk of Chris Mooneyham, two pages of the characters, and one
advertisement.
