Destro #3 is an action-packed comic book. Destro's fight against the Chameleon is choreographed in a way that you are constantly guessing how it could end.

Destro #3 is an interesting issue as it broadens Destro's reach but also ups the conspiracy leaving readers guessing who's behind the attacks. While not a standout series, it does add nicely to the world of G.I. JOE that Skybound is building. It's also a series that clearly is more focused on the broader story than an individual issue. Overall, an interesting addition to the G.I. JOE line that feels like the jury is still out on. Read Full Review

DESTRO #3 is a mixed bag of cool action moments and interesting conversations, but Destro's journey only works if you accept a few forced developments that require you to turn your brain off. Plus, the art waffles between pretty good and poor. Read Full Review

This is a very different type of Energon universe book. A lot of exposition and Destro backstory. All that being said, the first third was action and the second two thirds backstory. I liked the flow and I enjoyed the ancestors argument being the same point Destro makes. A nice little thing that both made me chuckle but really sells the point the guy is a true believer in his family and what he does. Truly a bad person but a person who knows he is bad and knows he is a necessary evil for how the world works. I quite enjoyed this. Good opening action, a chuckle later, nice backstory. Worth your money.

Though we really have to suspend belief in reality. I did mostly enjoy this issue. Destro would have been dead ten times over. The sniper rifle she was using goes through armor. At that distance, it would have torn a nice hole in him. Then he was blown up several times and he just happened to jump on the only truck going to the embassy in the entire area. I hope Dan Watters takes into account that this is not a Road Runner cartoon in the future. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/6DukRglUleY

While it seems to lack a little of that knack Duke and Cobra Commander had, this is still pretty good. It certainly delivers in the action and intrigue department, and the end of this issue also makes one more eager to learn more about what the Energon Universe G.I. Joe world will be like. I'm truly looking forward to the new ongoing G.I. Joe. I've heard more hype for it than any of DC's Absolute crap. I expect from what I've seen in 3 out of the 4 prelude series that it's shaping up to be quite a thrill ride.
