GI Joe 1

GI Joe returns with a new regular series within the ambitious project of SkyboundHim Universe EnergonA narrative crossing that also includes the series of empty transformers and rivals, which probably jumps on other media. This first volume includes the first six Staples published in the United States, whose first issue reached 225,000 orders before publication.

GI Joe 1. The attacks of Cobra Acts from Fresh entry point Both for the new readers and for the most veterans of the franchise. With the screenplay From Joshua Williamson and the Artistic team composed of Chris Samneewith its characteristic style, Tom Reilly y Jordie Bellaire They are responsible for giving life to this new stage that promises to redefine the classic characters with a more modern perspective.

The plot

The story is precisely at the beginning of this new continuity, after the presentation stories of Way to gi joe – Duke, Cobra commander, Scarlett and Destro – with the Joe team trying to organize in front of the growing threat of Cobra. With these limited series that cover both heroes: Duke or Scarlett and Villains: Commander Cobra or Destro, Skybound has formed the commands that will be integrated in the GI Joe team of the Energon universe.

The publishing house took the classic characters from the heroes of Hasbro, with some small surprises that can be seen at the beginning of the GI Joe collection. In the United States, these stories are published in parallel to the traditional GI Joe: to the true American hero, but do not cross. This first volume focuses on the character of DukeThere are also several classic and new Joes such as Clutch, Cover Girl, Rock ‘n roll, Stalker, The baroness And a new character called Risk.

The script

The script of Joshua Williamson Try to balance the Classic tone of GI JOE With More serious and cinematographic approach. However, one of the main weak points is characterization, because Duke dominates narrative Almost absolutely, which limits the diversity of perspectives and reduces the potential of the wide cast of characters.

Characters like the Baroness, the rock ‘n Roll or the cover girl have very little development and could have been replaced by other characters without altering history. This decision impoverishes one of the most loved elements of the GI Joe, as well as their diversified team with unique skills and personalities.

Although there are effective moments of action and some well -written dialogues, the script lacks dynamism as a whole and many characters feel dishes or lost.

Drawing and color

The real strong point of the comic is in its visual section. The art of Chris SamneeWith his style as a characteristic as he showed in Captain America. The house of the brave; AND Tom Reillytogether with the colors of Jordie Bellaire, They increase experience With an aesthetic that mixes the classic and the modern, with an approximate touch that adapts perfectly to the military theme.

Las action scenes Have a sense of Movement and strength that strikes And each page is loaded with visual energy. The characters are redesigned in a more modern way, in line with the current military forces, in addition to the style, in which each line gives life to history, even when the script does not reach it at all.

In short, GI Joe 1. The attacks of Cobra is a Good starting point by reintroduction to the world of Joes within the Universe Energon. Although visually it is impeccable and the general tone is accessible and fun, the story suffers from an too focused narrative approach on Duke and a lack of depth in the development of the rest of the cast.

The shared universe and the following comics maintain the interest, but the future deliveries are expected to derive the wealth of existing characters better. The comic, of course, is also perfect for new readers looking for a gate in the GI Joe universe without feeling lost, as well as for those who want to see a spectacular design and enjoy a visual action.
