G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #304 packs in the action

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #304

Dawn Moreno, the former Snake Eyes is on a recon mission in Springfield when she’s confronted by Cobra’s deadliest weapons yet. It’s Dawn vs. Blue Ninjas plus so much more in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #304.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #304 continues a hell of a launch arc for the series written by Larry Hama. Continuing his impressive run, the series has pivoted from the previous arc, moving onto the next action packed story which sees factions come together, others prepare for battle, and a new player come to the board.

Hama has done a masterful job of continuing what has been running for quite some time but also providing a point where new readers might want to check out the series with its new publisher. The previous issues have blended what was with what’s coming. G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #304 is squarely in the new arc taking the events of the previous issue to points where some are expected and others not so much. Overall, it’s a dance we’re seeing as Cobra, Serpentor, and G.I. Joe are all jockeying and trying to gain intelligence on each other. It’s an interesting issue seeing the three factions prepare and figure out what to do. Then there’s that ending… and an unexpected player.

What’s great as well is Hama is having some fun with the new formed alliance between Serpentor and Revanche. That’s enhanced by the art of Chris Mooneyham. Mooneyham is joined by Francesco Segala on color, Sabrina Del Grosso as flatter, and Pat Brosseau‘s lettering. The comic’s style has a bit more grit to it than the previous run, giving it a more adult and action packed look. The designs for the new troop types and Serpentor and Cobra Island’s mutated beings are fantastic balancing horror, sc-fi, and G.I. Joe’s grounded aspects. Scenes go from calm to action in no time and the art captures the excitement of it all.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #304 is another fantastic issue for a series that is a welcome return. Everyone is firing with every release and longtime readers should be excited for the new found energy. New readers will be sucked in by the art and the ease of understanding of what’s going on. The series, despite 300 issues in, feels fresh, and ready to be discovered and enjoyed.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #303 delivers solid action as alliances are formed

Posted on by
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #303

Who’s allied with who? Who’s making a move on who? With four different groups all making moves, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #303 is a fun issue that begins the next arc.

There feels like there’s a new energy when it comes to G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. While the series continues the story Larry Hama began so many years ago, with a new art team and new publisher, it feels a bit fresh. G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #303 continues the chaos that has been stewed the last few issues as the various forces make their moves.

Serpentor Khan has a new ally with Revanche and is quick to put it all to work and a test as various teams make their move to test out capabilities and also see what others are up to.

Hama makes the issue feel like a game of chess in some ways with each group making moves and attempting to figure out what the opposing force is up to. This leads to some exciting moments and an ending that’s a clear fake out. There’s also something kind of fun and intriguing with Serpentor teamed with Revanche, an almost classic horror movie monster force teamed with advanced AI. It’s a combo that works and works well.

That’s partly due to Chris Mooneyham. With color by Francesco Segala, flatter Sabrina Del Grosso, and letterer Pat Brosseau, the comic looks fantastic. The Joes look like their classic serious self but it’s Revanche and Serpentor’s forces that stand out. Revanche has a great look to them, invoking some familiar technology based villains. Serpentor’s forces have a tinge of horror to them but it’s not over the top distracting. Instead it looks more like a disease that’s corrupted those infected.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #303 is a solid comic. It’s somewhat predictable in some ways but enjoyable and fun. The art is top notch and it moves the story arc along with some pretty big moments that’ll play out for some time. It’s not too late to dive into this next step for G.I. Joe and it’s well worth the dive in.

Larry Hama and Chris Mooneyham’s G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #302 Sells Out

Posted on by

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #302 transitions to the next battle

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #302

As the Joes mourn their fallen brother, dangerous new forces are mounting against them. Cobra Commander returns to Springfield and the now mutant Serpentor Khan turns to a deadly new ally you won’t see coming! G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #302 begins the transition wrapping up the previous arc and kicking off what’s to come.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero kicked off a new era with its move to Skybound and did so by continuing the long history that came before. Writer Larry Hama continued his story as if nothing had changed setting off a virus bomb on Cobra Island turning all of those caught in it into cannibal monsters. With that came loss and a harrowing escape. The continuation was both good and bad as it wasn’t a very good spot for new readers to jump in and start reading but long time fans got the satisfaction of seeing where Hama was going to go after the “to be continued” ending that was G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #300.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #302 continues in that direction picking up on the previous arc and kicking off the next one. It’s an issue that’s a transition one looking both back and forward, reflecting on recent events, wrapping some up, and laying the groundwork for what’s to come. New readers still might have trouble with specific details but the general idea of what’s going on is easy to grasp and appreciate. Hama also hits at emotions delivering some somber moments along with those of dread and fear.

All of that is helped by Chris Mooneyham‘s art which both captures the horror of Cobra’s reality and the sad moments of a funeral. Mooneyham is joined by Francesco Segala on color, flatter Sabrina Del Grosso, and letterer Pat Brosseau. This issue really shows how well Mooneyham’s art nails the moments going from the horror of what’s to come with Cobra’s base to an almost comedic moment as Serpentor attempts to gain control after what he’s done. But, what’s most impressive is Mooneyham’s capturing of some of the memorials in Washington, DC delivering a heart wrenching silent page.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #302 is another fantastic issue that feels like it has kicked this long running series into overdrive and given it a shot of adrenaline. If you’ve never read the series, now’s the time to check it out while long time fans will be happy with where it’s all going and what’s teased to come.
