Do you really think Snake Eyes died falling into an open chasm tackling ol Serpy? Naw, he's out there, he'll be back, and he'll put the imposters to rest one day Speaking of preposterous falls, is Firefly coming back soon? Maybe an appearance in the upcoming one-shot (in which more Red Ninjas are unjustifiably genocided)?

I think your missing my point Larry kills Snake-Eyes,and then brings him back in not one but two different characters. Why even kill him? He still there in body (Sean) and in mind (Dawn) it all seams rather pointless. If he wanted to bring in a strong female character from the ranks of the Araskaige that would have been cool maybe somebody that Snake-Eyes trained. You really don't have new characters with either one of them they're physical representations of him. If he wants to change the story then let Snake-Eyes rest in peace.

Fair enough, but you can't move forward being stuck in the past. He keeps covering the same ground from issues# 26 and 27 and before. Dr. Venom was a great character in 80's he had a beginning,middle, and a end. Bringing him back now as a robot or mind controlling Mindbender makes his character cheapened in my mind.Hama seems to me to be stuck in that time period. I'm not say he shouldn't reference that material, it's part of the history, but maybe do it a litte less often.

I still want to tap into Snake Eyes' mind and see that mission where he and Clutch were stuck in the VAMP together and Clutch would not shut up about Scarlett and Cover Girl mud wrestling until Snake Eyes showed him part of his spike knuckled trench knife collection.

The thing of it is you don't need Dawn for that if he wants to tell the story, then tell the story do a flashback issue.

A narrative experiment, that's a polite way of looking at it. Another way would be looking at it as an experiment on how to cynically jump in on the most obvious cash-grab in comic books, which is the death of a major character. Only when other comics do it, they at least have that tiny bit of spine to let the dead character stay out of the series for a little while.

I think the general consensus is that the old school fans, i.e. the bulk of those reading the comic, want to see stories featuring characters that haven't been used over and over again. Yes it's fine to have the standard iconic Joes, but who doesn't want to see more of guys like Lowlight, Beachhead, Tunnelrat. There's so many characters that could be explored - look at how Chuckles got a second lease on life. I do give some kudos that Alpine is being featured in the mini-series at least.
And also, let the dead stay dead. IMO the biggest mistake was bringing Mindbender back as a clone, the obvious implication being that ANYONE can be brought back from the dead. |

Also... the vast majority of joe fans are GUYS. The last ten years of culture has been all about how women can do it better. Guess what, unpopular opinion, but we don't really want a Bombstrike or Lady Snake Eyes, we want characters that are relatable. A 120 pound ass kicker who never loses is just not interesting. That said, I like Jinx, Cover girl, Scarlett. But women soldiers are still a vast minority. When they become the pivotal characters, again and again, it's tiresome.
