The preview for GI Joe Infestation #1 in the pages of Infestation #1 suggested that GI Joe Infestation would take on a dark tone. This issue is indeed, decidedly darker than Infestation #1. Simply put, everything goes to hell for all GI Joe and Cobra operatives involved.
The Baroness sets the tone for this issue, as someone in her party is quickly killed in the first few pages, followed by the immediate capture of Psyche Out. Baroness and crew have raided the seemingly unassuming boat that Psyche Out and his team are sailing on.
Until this issue, we haven’t seen Psyche Out and Interrogator used much, so their roles in this issue are appreciated. It was also interesting to see how soldiers working under the Baroness react to her orders.
Baroness is portrayed as a ruthless Cobra operative, aided by Cobra Eels and Interrogator. Along the way, two new would-be Joes, Dolphin and Hound, are very briefly introduced.
We mentioned new would-be Joes introduced in this issue, but they aren’t the only new additions, as a new BAT design is shown. These BATs are worked on by Dr. Zych and Dr. Mitchell of Cobra. The BATs have surgical implants from animals to boost their sensory functions. While Mitchell is reluctant to perform the surgeries, Zych demands that the surgeries continue, for her own reasons….
It turns out that Psyche Out was transporting mysterious cargo, cargo that is of interest to the Baroness. Against Psyche Out’s warnings, the Baroness sends off the cargo to Dr. Zych to study.
What results is everything going south for everyone stuck on the Cobra Cottonmouth base, and possibly an unholy alliance formed for survival, in the next issue.
In some way, this issue is similar to Infestation #1 in that it’s unpredictable and that things go haywire for the main characters. This kicks things off well because the odds are against them, and this may force both GI Joe and Cobra forces to team up. Premises like that are usually entertaining.
The artwork was handled well, with J. Brown’s colors accentuating Giovanni Timpano’s artwork rather well. Timpano’s use of spot black inks is good, it aids in conveying the dark tone of the storyline. His rendition of the Baroness is rather appealing as well.
Overall this issue combines good artwork with an intriguing story and overlooked/underrated characters. It’s definitely a unique GI Joe comic worth checking out.
