    DESTRO (2024-) #5 Review

    Destro #5 is written by Dan Watters and published by Image Comics. Artwork is by Andrei Bressan, colours by Adriano Lucas, and letters by Rus Wooten. Main cover art (left) is by Andrei Bressan & Adriano Lucas

    Destro #5 is available from today, in print and on digital platforms where all good comic books are sold. Grab your digital copy from Amazon ComiXology UK right here.

    Synopsis

    Destro. Cobra Commander. The Crimson Twins.  The most dangerous powers in the Energon Universe are at war…but only one can win.  The road to G.I. JOE #1 ends here!

    Review

    Dan Watters has proven with Destro #5 that the Energon Universe understands the direction it wants to take and has also provided us with one of the best miniseries to be apart of this world. The penultimate issue showed us how Destro was going to trick his enemies and prepare to get his way, and that all comes into play with this final issue. From the jump, it’s explosive action, beautifully displayed by Andrei Bressan, but it’s very subtle (despite the explosions) and feels like it was written very similarly to a spy thriller ending.

    Cobra Commander is witness to this chaos as Destro faces the Paoli brothers, a fight that’s entertaining to watch as damaging one brother brings damage to the other. Destro has been written as this intelligent man who has a lot of patience, which is put on display here as he decides to play the long game, and it’s something we’ll have to wait ourselves and see if it plays out will in G.I. Joe.

    As someone who isn’t too familiar with the world of G.I. Joe, Dan Watters has done a stupendous job of not only introducing characters into the fray but also making them feel real. Some miniseries within the Energon Universe have failed to add this element to the characters they’re focussing on, but Watters ensures throughout Destro that at any time, things can go wrong. Even with how the issue ends, it shows that Destro may not be able to have the upper hand that he believes he’ll gain in the future.

    Verdict

    Destro #5 is a great conclusion to the miniseries with all-time writing from Dan Watters that provides the best miniseries yet within the entirety of the Energon Universe, setting up G.I. Joe #1 better than any of the books that came before. It’s a fun read that, deep within it, feels like you’re reading a Mission Impossible story.
