I have to agree with Jay that the story was a bit "goofy." Of course, we are reviewing something based upon our "vast?" knowledge of Joes what with the 150+ issues after this one and the series re-kindled by Devil's Due, a grain of salt is needed to accurately rate Comic #8. I liked the fact that the story showed all of the team and a lot of the heavy equipment used such as the HAL and MOBAT, both of which make a rare showing in the later issues when it is all about Snake-Eyes. Even cameo appearances of Short Fuze launching motar rounds in combat became extinct in later issues.
