what happened with ss. please tell me.
SPOILERS DON'T READ IF YOU HATE SPOILERS!
Basically in the flashback in issue #3, you see Storm Shadow's sword as the murder weapon for killing the Hard Master. Snake Eyes sees Storm Shadow flee the scene, with Storm Shadow looking back. This is also on Storm Shadow's mind in present time. Bear in mind the same happened in the Marvel books, Storm Shadow fled the murder scene, the only difference being the murder weapon was different, in the Marvel books, it was his arrow, in the movie, it's his sword.
Prior to the flashback in issue #3, it is obvious that Storm Shadow bears animosity towards Zartan. Zartan killed Cover Girl and mocked Storm Shadow, mocking the fact that Storm Shadow does not kill women. Storm Shadow replies, "if you were a woman I'd make an exception".
In issue #4 he tells Snake Eyes that he in fact,
DID NOT KILL
the Hard Master! The final duel in this issue isn't really expanded upon, the next scene shows Storm Shadow's costume in the water. In the movie novel, he had been hit by a laser in the room that he and Snake Eyes dueled in. By what I have read, neither ninja won the duel, they were fighting amongst lasers firing all around the room. Also in the various books(including kids books, guides, et al), Storm Shadow's fate is left open, some of the books hinting that he might still be alive.
In the movie adaptation, Storm Shadow does not come off as evil, he is strictly a mercenary and only does what he is ordered to do. He doesn't kill for pleasure like Zartan and he doesn't kill General Hawk when he has more than 1 weapon at hand to kill the man off easily.
It's been noted that Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes' grudge has roots in a huge misunderstanding. Like the Marvel books, it's easy to see why Snake Eyes would think Storm Shadow killed Hard Master, yet he could be innocent.
