Nomadic Avenger reviewed G.I. Joe #1 Sep 29, 2019
This is not GI Joe. This is a story they wanted to tell and are using the GI Joe brand to sell it. But let me tell you, this is NOT a GI Joe story.
Terribly simplistic art. Groan worthy dialogue. PC as hell. Not Gi Joe. I want my $4.00 back.
The end.

Of all the X titles I think this series is understanding what made the titles work. The character interactions are enjoyable and the story is building nicely. I had my doubts but this Marvel may have finally got the formula right.

RaisingBlack reviewed X-Men: Red #2 Mar 7, 2018
X-Men:Red is really proving to be the best X-Men team book going. It is everything an X book is about. The stakes remain high in issue 2. We introduce Gentle and Trinary in this issue and Trinary's introduction will likely get some fan boys complaining but she looks like a great new character. We end the book with a promise of an action packed 3rd issue and I love that Wakanda is the hide out spot more

Forge reviewed X-Men: Red #2 Mar 7, 2018
Wow this is garbage. Jean isn't nearly as hot as she should be. X-23 isn't as dark as she should be. Nightcrawler has no personality. Come to think of it, none of these characters seem to have any personality with the possible exception of the newly introduced Trinary. Honey Badger is an incredibly worthless character. Also, the art sucks.
There seems to be a new mandate for the X-Men b more

"Jean isn't nearly as hot as she should be" This sentence alone tells me to stop reading and disregard your review... But like RustonLF suggests, read Gold if this isn't your thing.

TheMatteo0 reviewed Death of X #1 Oct 5, 2016
Death of X is a storyline that could have been epic. The problem is, it's released at a time where we already know the origins, the results and precisely what is and isn't at stake. Therefore, the epic proportions, the shock and the intrigue are all instantly minimized the moment we hear them. How exciting the terrigen cloud reveal would have been (that it threatens the lives of some of the mutant more

The World Warrior tournament heats up for the Street Fighter team and G.I. JOE alike!
Nomadic Avenger reviewed Street Fighter X G.I. JOE #6 Aug 19, 2016
This was actually a pretty good issue, the strongest of the series. Its rare that a finale delivers but this one does - good action, great art, and characters people actually want to see. Its too bad it took 5 issues preceding this to get here, just when it was getting good. Overall 6.9/10 for the series. Fun but only ok.
The tournament is over... but the fight has just begun for STREET FIGHTER and G.I. JOE! As the unpredictable force known as Psycho Power grants a World Warrior impossible strength, every G.I. Joe soldier, Cobra agent, martial artist and even M. Bison himself struggles to contain this enemy before he achieves ultimate dominion!
