It's an entertaining read. I thought it was going to be bloodier, but it's pretty over the top for a John Romita Jr. book. There's a lot of comic book references that your average reader will enjoy. There's even some covers of Amazing Fantasy 15, Avengers 4, etc. in one scene.
I give it a... BORROW at the very least. If a friend has it, read it. It's a good series to read, especially for those wanting to see the movie. It's only 7 issues long and reads real quickly.
Issue 8 just came out. It was an 8 issue run for the first series. I believe Millar intends the comic to be a trilogy. No idea when book two comes out. And yes, issue 8 wraps things up. So no waiting on the movie for how things end. If you're gonna do a review, do some research first.Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No

Did the research, rarely ever not look things up (my good name is on the line), but couldn't find when the last issue would come out. Read an internet message board where a fan was complaining that we had to wait to see the ending in theaters. Seemed sketchy and I should have asked the guy at my comic store when the last comic would come out. I apologize.
Thanks for the update. I'll be making a trip tomorrow to get itAre you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No - 3 years 3 months ago

Oh yeah, the book was pushed back a lot. It was supposed to be out in December, then early January, then finally last Wednesday. Thankfully it did come out. I was sick of people asking about it.
Diamond has a nice little section on their website about rescheduled books here: http://www.previewsworld.com/public/default.asp?t=2&m=1&c=6&s=451
It changes each week. I wish there was an archive.Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No

I just finished G.I. Joe: Cobra 
I had heard a lot of good things about this book, but never gave it much thought, most G.I. Joe books I have read have been rather lackluster so I figured the same for this one despite the good word of mouth. Still I had a little extra cash on me when I was at at the comic store the other day and decided to give it a shot anyways and it was just crazy good! It is quite possibly the best espionage story that I have had the pleasure of enjoying be it comic, movie or otherwise it was just that good. I give it my highest recommendation.Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No
