G.I. Joe #2
SCORE: 69
I am extremely thankful I had the $3.99 to purchase a copy of the
G.I. Joe #2 comic book. The credits in G.I. Joe #2 can be found on the
back of the front cover. There are twenty pages of comic book content
within G.I. Joe #2. We get half of a page from Tom Reilly, and then a
page and a half of art of some of the characters. G.I. Joe #2 then
provides some advertisements for different comics, and the cover gallery
is on the back cover of this comic book.
There will be spoilers in my review of the G.I. Joe #2 comic book. The
issues families can have with G.I. Joe #2 are violence, blood, bad
language and more. There is something really odd about G.I. Joe #2 in
terms of the bad language. Some of the bad language is done in symbols
and other times the words are spelled out. I am not really clear why
that was done when it looks like the same word was in both places done
both ways.
Cobra winds up winning in G.I. Joe #2. They get the piece of
Cybertronian technology and bug out. G.I. Joe gets their hands on the
laser guns and Cobra Commander has them self destruct. It looks like
Rock 'N Roll is officially dead in G.I. Joe #2. I find this really
annoying and sad. I know there are plenty of characters to go through
but still - killing off a really popular character this fast is a bad
sign.
Speaking of bad signs in G.I. Joe #2 - we get a new character. This new
character is completely new to the franchise. We have all of these cool
characters to pick from and a brand new one is needed. Why? This
character is Risk. He is a rich boy seeking thrills in a suit modeled
after John Wick. Risk is also a trained cage fighter. Risk feels like a
lame mash up of Quick Kick and John Wick.
The shock ending in G.I. Joe #2 is Clutch is in a Cobra Suit and has
infiltrated Cobra. Clutch is giving us a Chuckles kind of performance.
Why wasn't Chuckles used for that? Even with all of my criticism aside I
did enjoy G.I. Joe #2 a bit more than the last issue. I am still not
very big on where this franchise has been going. Duke and Risk are at
each other's throats in G.I. Joe #2. Baroness is not happy. G.I. Joe is
a complete mess right now.
