As much as G.I. Joe Renegades was supposed to be “the G.I. Joe cartoon you remember watching when you were a kid,” IDW Publishing’s G.I. Joe comic is the G.I. Joe comic you remember reading when you were a kid. Only now, it’s better, because you’re an adult (I assume) and you can enjoy it on a completely different level. And, the book has many levels. First, it features the toys, yes toys, you loved playing with when you were a kid. Second, it’s an all-out great action movie, and third, a solid, well put together comic book.

There’s nothing quite like a good mash-up, no matter the art form. When an artist takes two distinct pieces and combines them well, that is the mark of true brilliance. Well, put together Robocop and Terminator, and you have a geek’s dream come true!

Come with me on a journey to the future…and the past. In the future, Robocop has seen all the horrors that Skynet is responsible for. In an effort to change the course of history and stop the evil before it happens, he travels back in time and finds himself in the days when Sarah Connor and her young son John struck down Cyberdyne Systems. A battle ensues when he encounters the second time-travelling Terminator, whom he perceives as a threat.
