Writer Larry Hama's serialized storytelling uses the transition/setup issue to introduce multiple cool ideas, and Chris Mooneyham's art is dramatically powerful. Read Full Review

GI Joe RAH 315 is a decent cool-down issue after the previous epic arc. Read Full Review

There's a fair bit going on in this issue, though the whole thing with the group Snake-eyes is a part of just isn't all that interesting to me. The main threads are pretty fun to watch playout since there are a lot of bodies on the floor by the end when it comes to the mutated soldiers but I also really liked seeing how controlled Destro was while being forceful about what's going to go down. It's a character I like but it has to be done in small doses because of the big personality through their castle and all of that. It'll be interesting to see where things go with Mindbender next but it was such an expected bad turn of events for that group that you have to chuckle at how it ends up. The book is definitely enjoyable overall and it looks great with what Mooneyham brings to the page with the entire cast, making it worth the wait. Read Full Review

I often find that this series lacks atmosphere and personality, but this issue has both. Who wants non-stop action all the time? This is probably my favorite issue of the series so far.
