WHO WILL SURVIVE THE DREADNOK WAR? Duke and Cobra Commander are confronted by an enemy they never expected. But the Dreadnoks aren’t far behind... The twice-monthly G.I. Joe epic continues RIGHT HERE.
Its wild how insane The Dreadnok War has been, and Williamson is already setting readers up for the next major arc, which looks to be a pivotal chapter in the Energon Universe story. For now, theres still two issues left of Dreadnok War and if GI Joe 15s cooldown is any indication, this war is going to get a lot wilder and just as entertaining. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE #15 keeps up the momentum for "The Dreadnok War going high. The chemistry between all the characters involved, including the new character introduced, is all well done. Through the actions the Dreadnoks are taking Joshua Williamson and Tom Reilly further build out the world of the G.I. JOE in the Energon Universe in very intriguing ways. Read Full Review
G.I. Joe #15 progresses the Dreadnok War storyline forward in fun, action packed ways, while also laying the seeds for what is to come afterwards. Read Full Review
The Dreadnok War gets heated as Duke searches for answers he may not like to find. Williamson pens a slower paced interaction between the enemies. Reilly and Bellaire mix in great action with a deeper espionage game in play. This series continues to be a must-read with every issue. Read Full Review
G.I. Joe #15 may be light on action, but it more than makes up for it with great character moments as the Dreadnok War reaches its midway point. Read Full Review
Williamson and Company are really looking at the long-term in this series. It's taking a while for things to develop beyond the standard sorts of storylines that would've been around in the 1980s, but it's really nice to see the larger scope of the continuity in the Energon Universe beginning to assert itself more and more as the series continues. Given the right momentum. This could still be something much more than what had been originally developed for page and screen back in the 1980s. Read Full Review
G.I. JOE #15 charges forward with ambition, layering desert survival action against shadow diplomacy and mysterious conspiracies that suggest the Dreadnok War is merely one piece of a much larger puzzle. Strong writing and solid figure work from Reilly are consistently undermined by Bellaire's muddy, uninspired coloring that drains visual excitement from nearly every page. The issue delivers enough narrative intrigue to satisfy committed readers, but the relentless drabness of the color palette and the tonal shifts between philosophical monologue and comic relief make this a difficult recommendation for casual buyers. When coloring actively works against the artist's linework and the story's intensity, readers deserve better value for their dollar. Read Full Review
I know I criticised Jordie Bellaire's monochromatic coloring in the past, but in this issue it works perfectly, summoning up a fever dream reminiscent of a 1980s post-apocalyptic action movie. It's gritty and glowing in the most fucked-up way possible. Love it!
G.I Joe #15 shifted gears from a Mad Max style action story (in issue 14) to what felt like a 1970s horror film. A brand new antagonist was introduced and dominated Duke, Cobra Commander and the narrative. The story was visceral and “full contact” very much like the Coba Commander mini-series from a few years back. The story continues to move at a great pace, letting up for brief interludes, keeping up with the other members of Cobra and G.I.Joe. This issue was nearly flawless in art and story - I very highly recommend this issue and the entire series.
Joshua Williamson is on a roll with this title. We get to see Cobra Commander without his mask, that's a first for me. I wasn't familiar with the Road Pig character, but he appeared in both G.I. Joe titles this month. Though the character was somewhat different in each title. I was waiting for Hound to show up, maybe in the next issue.
