So arah 250 got some mainstream attention:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.7e0cfb1eab65 Once again Larry reminds us he isn't writing for the middle-aged fanboy :/ It's for chick cosplayers! PS: It was good to see Firefly in action again, and Netho's style was energetic - if inconsistent - but like many said here, the story seemed nebulous and didn't really go anywhere. In fact, the ending was downright surreal. Also, with all the variant covers put out throughout this storyline, not one features Firefly? Anyone tired of these slew of covers that only tangentially if at all have anything to do with the content of the story? Now if Firefly and Zartan's status are indeterminate, does this mean some other Cobra villain is slated to die, or was Larry just stringing us along? |

I've suggested through IDW that Larry look upon Zandar as a "girl's character" and look on it through that perspective. Obviously, he'll have none of it. I've suggested he give the twins Zandar & Zarana a second look. If he's willing to let Dawn Moreno fly, why not this? The answer is that you and I don't matter. It's not written for us. We're just along for the ride. It's all for Larry. I wish I mattered and could preserve the official status of Zandar & Zarana as a cool pair of punk twins! Instead of it going away... But I don't, and I'm not sure I can.

YES!!! I've been complaining about them for years (not just as it pertains to ARAH). Every once in a while or for a special issue is fine (or for a B or C cover), but anything else is lazy and/or cheap. I call them pin up covers. I suspect that many of them are commissioned w/ no knowledge of what characters will even be featured let alone what the story is about.

Yeah, even if the art is "suckier," I try to stick with covers that give a plug for what the story is inside. Can you imagine having a box of 300 comics and not one of them shows the story -- they're all just Baroness pin-ups? Ugh. It would take you forever to find the comic you were thinking of if you decided to reread a certain tale.

Read the issue last night. I enjoyed it. I have to admit that I was swerved by the Zartan reveal.
Still not totally on board with Diaz as the artist, because I really dug Gallant's style, but Diaz's style really matched this story so that at least worked. Looking forward to the next storyline and seeing more Stalker. I am also hoping that Sean gets a chance to shine as Snake-Eyes now that Dawn has had a whole arc basically to show off.

Sean needs to shed the Snake Eyes moniker. It's clear he was a proto-SE and only later Larry thought of his preferred version. I say let Sean have a full blown existential crisis and go rogue, maybe end up on Cobra. He and Dawn can have a final battle before the OG Snake Eyes returns (and do any of us really believe in our hearts he died falling into a chasm? Probably he and Serpy are digging their way out with spoons right now!) |

Snake Eyes will definitely be back. If Hama doesn't do it, then some other writer will.

It was time for Gallant to move on. Hopefully Diaz will return for a more permanent run. And, yes, Sean needs to dump the Snake Eyes moniker. It's silly to have two Snake Eyes, especially when the memories of the original are embedded in Dawn. Make Dawn the official Snake Eyes and move forward.
