BONUS REVIEW by JIMMY PS HAYES
OK. So. A few years back Larry Hama made his “triumphant return” to GI Joe in Devil’s Due’s GI Joe Frontline and I was………..less than impressed. When I read that Larry Hama was “re-launching” GI Joe at IDW I was a bit skeptical. Man, was I wrong!!!! It’s weird reading a different origin for Snake Eyes, Stalker, Duke and company that’s been drilled into my head for over 25 years. But different in an AWESOME way!! Comics don’t get much better than this, folks. This is why the term “MUST READ” was created! And, can any of you soldiers out there reading this tell me what a “skunk farm” is?
