crookedtreehouse's review against another edition

I bought this book, not as a fan of GI Joe comics (though I read a few about a decade ago that were interesting) but as a fan of Michel Fiffe's [b:Copra: Round One|23350464|Copra Round One|Michel Fiffe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1412919035l/23350464._SY75_.jpg|42908298]. I really enjoyed the colored pencil-like art and bizarre X-Force parody of it.
Between not caring in the least about GI Joe characters, and the flatness of the colors in this book, I couldn't keep reading it. The humor didn't land. The colors felt off. I'm sure this is for someone, but I am not that person.
I ended up returning this to the store.

Wonderfully fun and humorous, you can really tell the creators enjoy the franchise.

I am so confused by this. It felt like I was on drugs reading it. Can't tell if I liked it or not, but I think other people might.

Slight-but-fun tribute to G.I. Joe: ARAH, in all its 1980s glory, nestled somewhere in between the comics, the cartoon, and just playing with the toys on your bedroom floor. Maybe not everyone's thing, but a nice bowl of nostalgia chow if that's what you're looking for.

Its fine. Clearly you need to not only be a G.I.Joe fan, but also deeply familiar with Larry Hama's run from the 80s and 90s.
I am neither. I love Michel Fiffe's work, ut really, that's the only draw here, and the fun of it is largely lost in its deep-knowledge demands. Definitely not written for a casual audience.
