G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #307

This was a really great installment with an excellent mix of character interplay especially considering the large cast and thrilling action sequences. Real American Hero might be getting collected and made into compendium editions, but this title is showing there's no need to fondly reminisce over the past. There's still plenty to enjoy right now.

G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO #307 is another solid entry in the series that mixes military action, twists, turns, and shifting alliances in the face of Serpentor's deceptions. The art team turned in a great set of visuals, and Larry Hama's script is as authentic a G.I. Joe experience as you can get. Read Full Review

This issue sees the cold war between the various factions turning hot, affecting the vibe of an action movie, with standout moments like a Joe pulling the trigger on a cyborg's eye socket from point-blank range. If that sounds like your thing, this book will speak to you. Read Full Review

I do like the bit with get with Destro this time around as Zartan finds a way to get in touch with him and this whole thing feels like the interesting wildcard to the storyline so far. The rest of the book is solid but it's mostly just moving things along and slowly putting the pieces in place. Again, it's not bad or anything but it lacks a certain dynamism to it to make it feel like we're really moving forward. Pelletir's artwork is solid and does the job but Mooneyham was able to bring just a little something extra to it that's hadr to pin down so that even the workmanlike installments felt alive and buzzing. The curiosity to see how it all goes is still there but there's not muhc memorable to this issue. Read Full Review

Larry Hama spent the previous issue moving pieces on the board into new places, but this latest installment shows us what the fruits of all that labor will begin to look like over the course of this next arc. Hama gives us quite the issue, with a pulse-pounding plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The issue picks up nearly immediately from the events of the previous issue, as the Joe’s recon team find themselves in set up on Cobra Island as they try to find out what Serpentor Khan and Doctor Mindbender are up to with a new delivery of Revanche weaponry. The action is cranked into hyperdrive, as their mission culminates in intense moments & a high-octane chase scene that is reminiscent of the best actio n movies. I really enjoyed spending so much time on the Joes this issue after the last issue focused on the various baddies plotting (and side-plotting) their own power-grabs. In addition to the recon team’s mission, we also see more somber moments back at The Pit, as Duke gives Dawn an update on Springfield and what we saw happen to her parents in the previous issue. It leads to a touching moment between Dawn, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow that will surely tug on your heartstrings. The issue wouldn’t be as thrilling as it was if it weren’t for the art team of Paul Pelletier on pencils, Tony Kordos on inks, Francesco Segala on colors (w/ Sabrina del Grosso as flatter), and Pat Brosseau on letters. Pelletier and Kordos continue to lack the textured finesse of the series’ original artist Chris Mooneyham, but they make up for it in spades with expressive character expressions and fluid panels that give action sequences a necessary sense of motion. With its non-stop action, great characters, and awesome visuals, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #307 a thrilling ride from start to finish! more

This G.I. Joe issue delivers the classic action and intrigue fans have come to expect. While there are a few pages that drag and slow down the pace, the overall story remains engaging. The action sequences are well-executed, and the character interactions add depth to the plot. Despite some lulls, it’s a solid addition to the series and an enjoyable read for any G.I. Joe fan.

Solid, but the art looks a bit rushed, especially in the action scenes.
