That's like reading x-men to see what professor x is getting into.

Claremont's Uncanny X-Men and X-men, hell, X-Factor and X-Force, too, were always pretty good about that with how big Wolverine was in the 90's. He was featured in the stories in the two major X-books, but the other X-Men were also allowed to shine. Then again, maybe that's because Wolverine not only had his own book, but gave Spider-Man a run for his money guest-starring across all the other books Marvel was publishing.

Im pointing out professor x because he's connected to everyone.
Wolverine, yeah, but i dont want to give snake eyes that much credit. Plus logan kills 100 superninjas before lunchtime peanuts at a bar. |

I think with how "niche" Joe is, and just how much SE merch there is, we gotta face the fact that he's become the Wolverine of ARAH. It's a shame and that might be the very reason GI Joe has never really achieved the level it did in the 80's as the people in charge don't really understand it's all about the team, has been since the Adventure Team. Even the movies failed that. RoC was a buddy cop movie. Retaliation was all about Dwayne Johnson, and SE goes without saying.

Well yeah.
Im just saying it wasnt worth it to me to bring up he was a twin. I don't care enough about him to interject facts about him in a conversation. |

Until Issue #26, he was technically still just a commando.

I actually liked SE on his file card, Sunbow cartoon, toy, and NES game merits before he got spammed to hell in the 2020s of movie, VG, and Classified mess. That's when I made the mistake of reading the entire Joe comic run on Comixology all the way through to #280 or so and wish I could undo that choice. It's also when I lost all interest in Larry Hama's work beyond file cards.
I'm now a die hard issue #1-20 fan who throws the baby out with the bathwater from #21 on, and cringes at every new SE object that's thrown at the unsuspecting public. |

Commando SE was likeable and I felt like he was presented as more of a background, team player. As BizCH wrote, from #21 on, it becomes Snake-Eyes and the GI Joe team. Some of the storytelling was still great but the never-ending need to glorify SE the Master of all Combat became obnoxious.
And, to mingle theories ... Has anyone ever seen Snake-Eyes and Zandar in the same comic book panel? I'll float the idea that SE's twin didn't really die, but became Zarana, and Zartan hates them because they didn't idolize their big brother and he's jealous. Hahahaha |

I think you've got a pretty solid point there. Particularly when you factor in what a non-presence Snake Eyes was in the Sunbow series and how much of the fandom associates *that* with their memories of A Real American Hero moreso than they do Snake Eyes eating an everlasting invincibility star in the comics.

Looking at this poll, I've failed spectacularly. :(
