Pat Lee Helms 80s Cartoon Crossover
Pat Lee got the ball rolling with Darkminds. That series won him a
lot of attention and critical acclaim, and as a result the penciler found
himself doing things even for Marvel Comics. Now Lee has moved on from dark
espionage tales and superhero comics to another of his passions. He's taking the
excitement of classic 80s cartoons and funneling the energy into new Dreamwave
comics just as kinetic as those cartoon episodes that kept us rooted and
faithful.
This fall, Dreamwave unleashes the comic crossover too big for any TV to contain: Pat Lee's Transformers/G.I. Joe #1. Expectations are high, of course. But artist Lee and writers James McDonough and Adam Patyk deliver the lightning in a bottle, as they not only incorporate key G.I. Joe players Shipwreck, Snake Eyes, and Rock-N-Roll, but also a rookie commander of the anti-terrorist Joe organization who butts heads to keep the veterans in line - and respecting his authority.
Egos get in the way. Guys who have seen bloodshed and bullets suddenly have to take orders from the new kid on the block. And this work dynamic makes for rough going as the business of taking on terrorists involves a lot of trust. Can the Joe hard-liners trust the new commander, Flint, especially now that Cobra's superior firepower is boosted by the powerful Transformers?
