Following the suspenseful conclusion of G.I. Joe: Honor, the G.I. Joe team looks poised to eliminate the threat of Cobra once and for all. Those prospects seem even more likely when a former Cobra Viper defects, bringing with him information that could lead Hawk's team to victory. However, while Cobra may be in a state of disarray, the organization is far from crippled, as forces work from the shadows to launch a plot that nobody will see coming until it is too late. G.I. Joe: Body Count delivers intrigue and action that fans of G.I. Joe have come to expect.
The third in the series by Bill Nedrow. What is great is how he effectively adds and mixes the right mythos between the comics, cartoons and action figure worlds. In addition, he works hard at keeping the whole thing balanced and in the real world, without having it go off into fantasy land. The only downside to this book is that to get everything else going on you have to have read the previous two book in this series. I really don't want to give away too much, but the short version is Cobra Commander is missing, there is a Cobra Civil War, GI Joe is on the hunt for Cobra, there might be a traitor in the midst of the unit and the Renegades start to come into play.
