When Chameleon returns from a mission with severe depression and PTSD, she has a hard time fitting back in with G.I. Joe. It doesn't help to be working with Tomax Paoli, the man she fled Cobra to escape.
Chameleon has to get it together when Flint finds out about a covert operation to infiltrate the new G.I. Joe wing in the Pentagon. Duke is not convinced it will happen until he is shown that it already has. Chameleon has to lead a team to stop a deadly attack on Washington D.C.
The story by Mike Costa is great, and I really like a lot of the recent G.I. Joe comics I've read. The story lines are quite mature and don't remind me of action figures or cartoons. Intense action, complex relationships and twisting storylines. Art by Antonio Fuso is sparse at times, but this plays nice with the story.
I was given a review copy of the graphic novel by IDW and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.

For as much as I loved the Transformers TP that I just read and reread, I wished I could have liked this one better. I just really couldn't feel the same old connection to the G.I. Joe comics that I grew up with.
Yes I am a female and used to read G.I. Joe comics! Heck, I would read most comics that I got my hands on back then. After awhile though, there are certain things that you come to expect from the old standards. This one just really missed the mark for me.
