Cover, the ninja who can crash through metal duct work uncut! This will be the least of his power in this issue FEATURING STORM SHADOW AND SNAKE-EYES BACK IN ACTION...because screw 1990's toy line.
Storm Shadow can break into the Pentagon and bully a cabal of high ranking military officers into giving Snake-Eyes a mission.
"I thought he was one of ours!" Depends on what year it is, General.
Storm Shadow berates them for calling themselves warriors, except they don't. They are soldiers. Pretty arrogant talk from someone who himself is a US Army veteran!
"A true warrior doesn't rely on weapons...for he himself is a weapon!" -Storm Shadow issue 103, (1990).
"A ninja does not need a weapon, a ninja IS a weapon." - Storm Shadow in "Countdown for Zartan" (1985)
Hama never watched the cartoon, though. It just when you write an arrogant ninja character, some lines are obvious.
"We are not a rehab center for burn-out Joes." Of course not, Burn-Out won't debut until 2003.
Storm Shadow can thrown a shuriken with such accuracy and force it lodges in a pistol barrel. And since when would non-security personnel have weapons in the Pentagon? Oh, but they are generals? But they are also so super secret that no one is supposed to know about them in one of the most secure places in the nation.
Storm Shadow disses "namby pamby" Sneak-Peek and "blaring" Heavy Metal. Harsh!
"Get to the point!" No, no, keep bashing the military-industrial complex, please!
Storm Shadow went all the way from NYC to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri to steal a file, then to Washingon DC. In the process he burned down the fort's record center...or was this a real event Hama was referencing?
"This is blackmail!" Yes, it is. Great lessons for the kiddies. Breaking and entering and blackmail!
Cobra Condors in Sierra Gordo...because the IG's don't have a real bomber?
Page 10, Cobra Troopers...odd sight for 1990 and used by Darklon. Not their last appearance, though.
The bad guys remembered that you can just lob missiles at enemies.
Roadblock tells us of a real American hero, Audie Murphy. Who survived WW2 as a hero and went on to become movie star...but doesn't say that Murphy suffered PTSD, and later died in a plane crash.
Edit: Browser locked up before I could finish.
So Millville resistance story gets wrapped up in 4 pages. We never see the youths or Russ again. Lucky them, they could've been freightered or massacres.
Hawk doesn't believe his own men. Maybe look at some satellite photos or for reports of a huge helicopter fleet traveling across the USA?
"Mr. Squawker", Scarlett's sister gets the best insult to Stalker unintentionally. There's almost an amusing in-joke by mistake, as Action Force's Jammer was a repainted Stalker and a communications expert.
So many gaping mouths on page 19 that I thought Wildman had taken over the art for a page!
Storm Shadow says Scarlett's death is given. I guess he didn't know about her mutant healing powers.
Top of page 22, headless red-orange trooper is supposed to be...an Alley Viper?
Darklon goes all lumber jack on the rain forest. Because topical!
A blinded Roadblock carries a smaller, afflicted, former adversary on his back and I'd like to remind everyone again that Hama never saw the cartoon.
We learn that Storm Shadow's ninja powers include mind control. Good thing he's not a Cobra anymore, Dr. Mindbender would lose his job...oh, right...
Why not just go with him, Storm Shadow? You answer to no one.
Scarlett awakes from coma but without amnesia! What a missed opportunity!
Letters Page: Hama reveals that names are clues in Asian languages and he hasn't revealed them all, something something Pasteur Street.
Storm Shadow is an arrogant jerk this issue. He's being a jerk to other jerks, but those are the Juggler straw men we are used to. Millville story ends and the town won't be seen for some time. No big loss, except issue 100 made it seem like the start of something big. Sierra Gordo...'splosions and bullets and accidental cartoon references! Mixed bag of an issue.
