  And let's not forget my man Alex Cal. Does this guy ever sleep? What a talent this guy has become over the last three months. Cal hasn't drawn every issue of 'Cobra Command', but by god, he's done most of them. If you look back at some of my previous review, you'll see that I wasn't always crazy about Cal's work, specifically his use of photo reference. But the with the shear volume of work this story arc demanded from the guy, he's really become one of my all time favorite G.I. Joe artist. After these last few issues, I would put him right up there with Mark Bright, Rod Whigham, or Ron Wagner. And just like Dixon, Cal does a superb job of keeping the more absurdist aspects of G.I. Joe (aka THE BEST PARTS) from feeling out of place, and as we all know, that's quite an accomplishment. Read Full Review

Why must everything be long? How many times in comics have we said, "Gosh! That ended too fast!" and even if that DOES happen, the publisher can always revisit the material later.
