G.I. JOE #12 blends grit, tension, and cinematic flare into one sleek mission file. The writing sings, the art stuns, and the setup for the Dreadnok War lands exactly where it aims. If only that mysterious bit of metal made sense, Shooter's breakout would be legendary instead of just impressive. Read Full Review

Shooters introduction into the Energon Universe doesnt miss. Williamsons writing stages her debut with a bullseye. Foder & Loughridge deliver a vintage spy story with the art. After the final page, theres no way readers wont be on the edge of their seats for the Dreadnok War. Read Full Review
Joshua Williamson and Marco Fodera maximized the page count of G.I. JOE #12 to give Shooter a strong introduction. Shooter is put over as a badass sniper who can deal with any mission. At the same time, we get a lot of developments for major sub-plots that drive up the overall interest of this series. Read Full Review

The first appearance of a character we already know is nothing new in Skybound G.I. JOE, but this one is a particularly fun done-in-one, with new wrinkles for the Energon Universe. Read Full Review
15th Book of October - G.I. Joe #12 - felt like a Special Missions story, a small group of Joes (this time Night Force) on a single mission to rescue a sniper by the name of Shooter. Points off for using that name, it was put into the original G.I. Joe #1 in the 80s as a tribute to Marvel EIC Jim Shooter who recently passed away … they should have just retired the name. Personal feelings aside - the writing was tight and fun - had an action film vibe … the art was a little rough … seemed like in a few panels they just colored over the pencils. Though it did very little to add to the overall Joe story and even less to add to the Energon Universe … it was still a nice one-off.
The weakest issue so far, especially when it comes to the art.
