Story: Things come to a head in Scotland, Springfield and Cobra Island. The Springfield team needs to make a quick escape as does the Cobra Island team. Meanwhile, in Scotland, Cobra Commander is trying to escape.
Writing: Wow...this was not Hama's best work. Part of it is all three narratives of this tale are the same. Both G.I. Joe teams are made and need to escape while Cobra Commander is trying to escape Scotland. On top of that, the Joes at the Pit are tapped into the Cobra feeds at various locations and know all of this is happening, which begs the question, why risk soldiers' lives when you already know what is happening. Then the "we just happened to tap into a feed at a Scottish airport" at the right time to see a Cobra Hurricane VTOL Vertical Takeoff and Landing Jet. Really??! However, I feel the next couple issues are probably going to be pretty action packed as the Joes make their escape.
Art: Overall, the art is decent in this issue. There are a couple panels where it seems to suffer but those are few and far between. One thing I found interesting is we get a HISS tank but its in the colors of the Cobra H.I.S.S. II. I was a bit bummed, since I love the design of the High-Speed Sentry mark-II.
Overall: Not Hama's strongest work but he's at the end of his build up and we'll start seeing more action in the next few issues. I did chuckle a bit at Cobra Commander's comedic car chase though.
