Beachhead and Tripwire handle some South American drug dealers right off the bat. I loved this one-off, it felt like an old issue of the Special Missions title. The Joes do more than battle Cobra.
Then Duke, Scarlett, and Bazooka head out to grab a scientist involved in Cobra's MASS device research. Things go poorly as the Joes are totally defeated. One of the three dies while the other two are left for dead by a lethal Cobra operative.
Meanwhile, Snake Eyes is recovering from his battle with a Cobra operative. He's in NYC hanging with the Hard Master. I never thought I'd see a story where Snake has to rebuild his confidence, so this was great. Dixon is really making Cobra into a dangerous group. Their low-level vipers are tough, but the named, boss snakes are big trouble.
Robert Atkins and SL Gallant do a great job with the art. The house style is a great, modern take on the classic uniforms. The characters look distinctive enough to resemble their toys, but they are updated nicely. This book is a hell of a ride.
Good
