G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO #306 delivers military-style action, surprises, twists, turns, more twists, and more turns for an issue that confirms the last person on Earth you should trust is Serpentor. The guest artist team does a banger of a job living up to Chris Mooneyham's work, and Hama's script has enough plot developments (perhaps too much) to keep you guessing for weeks about what comes next.

Larry Hama shows off his skills navigating the multiple complex subplots he's created so far. There are crosses, double-crosses, & what I think is now a triple-cross? It's a little hard to keep track, but darn is it exciting! Hama expertly weaves a thrilling narrative that kept me the edge of my seat w/ captivating characters. The numerous plot threads are a bit of double-edged sword though. The downside in this issue is that the Joes take a backseat, and we only catch a brief glimpse of the events unfolding in Springfield, minus Cobra Commander. The focus on other characters & plotlines is a deliberate choice that adds depth to the story as Hama builds tension amongst the villainous factions. Paul Pelletier steps in as guest artist, seamlessly filling in for series regular Chris Mooneyham. Inker Tony Kordos & colorist Francesco Segala bring the visuals to life w/ their exceptional work, capturing the essence of classic G.I. Joe visuals while adapting them for modern comics. The issue embodies the spirit of the original series while embracing contemporary storytelling. Hama's masterful plotting, combined w/ the talented art team, results in a comic book experience unlike any other. more

Here’s a succinct review you can use: This issue effectively prepares the stage for what’s to come, setting up key elements without diving into major events. While not much action unfolds, the narrative still manages to draw you into the story, building anticipation for the developments ahead. It’s a solid setup that promises more excitement in the issues to follow.

Solid script, solid art. Pelletier's style is more accessible than Mooneyham's, but also less exciting. The story seems to be going nowhere though.
