Danger Girl created by J. Scott Campbell & Andy Hartnell
J. Scott Campbell has got to be one of the best recognized artists today in terms of his art. I never read Danger Girl, but I always loved the artwork from the issues. Campbell aslo does artwork for other titles such as G.I. Joe. Anyone in the world of Nerdom knows the who, what, when, where of G.I. Joe. I myself was a child of the ‘80’s and remember the good old days when a group of friends would get together with their G.I. Joe figures and stage a battle against Cobra. So, when I saw that Danger Girl and G.I. Joe had a miniseries coming out, I knew I would have to grab it and share my thoughts with my fellow Nerds.
The story doesn’t drag at all. The first page we find Flint and Scarlett being attacked by a couple of Cobra Rattlers. As they are being shot down from the sky, their main concern was the plane they were escorting so they break formation to try to save the plane. They realize the only way to survive was to bail out their jet. They do not do this in vain. They use their jet to take out one more of the Rattlers.
Meanwhile on the U.S.S. Flagg, news of the cargo being lost as well as two Joes brings a visitor from the President. She in turn tells the Joes that their operation is shut down until further notice. Lady Jaye confides with Cover Girl and Jinx about how she wants to get Flint back but feels helpless. Cover Girl then gets out a card that has a number to a member of the organization that operates with Danger Girl.
Let’s not forget about Flint and Scarlett! We find them going through a dangerous jungle being surrounded by agents of Cobra. They put up a fight but have no choice but to surrender to Cobra, for now. What will happen next? Only issue #2 holds the answer.
Andy Hartnell is a great writer and it shows in this issue. I could not believe how well it was written. Honestly, I never thought I would get so interested in a Danger Girl comic. I love the cover art by Campbell as well as the interior art by Royle. I give this issue a strong rating 9 out of 10. Get our issue today, while you still can!
