Story: Ace does a high altitude recon in the Sky Raven and discovers a satellite that might be a space station. Duke and Stalker send up Payload, Sci-Fi, Lady Jaye and Countdown in the Joe's Defiant shuttle to investigate it. Once in space, the station, controlled by Revanche, begins shooting at the Joes. Lady Jaye and Sci-Fi are able to get inside the station and, by fighting the blue ninja, are able to take the station out. However, Revanche does have other plans.
Writing: This is a tight issue, focusing just on the space station. I do enjoy it when Hama incorporates lesser-used Joes, like in this issue we get Law & Order, Countdown, Sci-Fi, Hardtop and Payload. Three of those Joes are a very specific subset, dealing with outer space. We don't get any other Joes on other missions either. Just the team taking down a space station. While it does have long-term continuation, the issue itself is pretty self-contained, which is nice.
Art: Art is pretty good here too; Pelletier has a good grasp of the material. Again, nice to see lesser-used vehicles as well - the Sky Raven and the Defiant: Space Vehicle Launch Complex (including the Crawler & Gantry + the Booster/Space Station!). One thing that is odd is Lady Jaye is wearing her ballcap inside her space suit.
Overall: No matter the series, it's always nice to see a self-contained issue now and again. This one is just one story-line and it wraps it up nicely. The creative team is really on point in this issue.
