    I Think I'm Gonna Like Hashtag.

    Overview: Continuing the "Homefront" storyline in this issue we see Duke is captured by Baroness and is trying to get information out of him while the other Joes are just trying to survive and regroup.

    The Good: In this issue we learn how Cobra took over this town so easily, by killing their leaders and installing fear in them its no wonder why this town is willing to fight the Joes. And the scene with Duke and Baroness is pretty funny with Duke just trying to piss off Baroness anyway he can. This book just has good dialog in general. Going back to the other Joes the guys are trying to find the girls while defending themselves against Cobra and the town. Of course Roadblock doesn't want to kill civilians while also thinking they might have a traitor in the mist because Cobra somehow knew they were coming. And finally the best part of the book is the female Joe members we learn a little bit about them in this book. Remember in my first review I wasn't so sure about Hashtag well I think I'm gonna like her, I mean at first she does something really stupid by reveling their location to Cobra and force the Joes into a fight which I have to comment on. Cover Girl is awesome in this book she takes on multiple bad guys by herself, which is funny because she talks like she's never been in combat before. We also learn she's a former model. Now the reason I liked Hashtag in this is because Cover Girl got pinned down and Hashtag was forced to kill someone and the reason I like it so much is the was it was presented and illustrated she felt instant remorse, its a simple scene but it really make me feel for her.

    The Bad:Not really much bad in this book. There is this one scene with Cover Girl where she got hit in the face I don't know the pose and the face she made kinda put me off. And we still don't know what Cobra's plan is or what they're doing here. Hopefully we learn more in the next issues.

    Overall: This was another good issue, we got some good character bits, great action scenes and I can't wait to see what happens next.
