I'm enjoying this series way more than I thought I would. It has a Marvel feel to it that I appreciate. More mythical, more super hero-like. I always thought that would be a good direction for a Snake Eyes series so this is right up my alley.
Liefeld's art is different, for sure, but I'm good with it. And if his name makes it successful and keeps Snake Eyes going, then who am I to complain?!? What did everyone else think? Last edited by stopdead; 10-07-2020 at 12:18 PM.. |

I am not. I put up with issue #1, but #2 makes very little sense. It felt like a Conan meets Wonder Woman book, not Joe. Why is SE all red? 100% flayed skin? Wears Deadpool suit under his black suit?

Is two out now?
Snake Eyes looks like Deadpool because that is how he draws Ninjas. Look back at his other work. All the same for post part but the color.

Anyone want to guess which scope Scarlett is looking through?

I hate it. It does not feel like a G.I. Joe comic at all. And Liefeld continues to frustrate. He draws some things super well but still seems to be completely clueless when it comes to human anatomy.

I don't think it is supposed to feel like a G.I. Joe comic and that's OK so long as it doesn't pretend to be. Rob made it pretty clear that a military-based comic is a tough sell in this day and age and he wanted to do something new with Snake Eyes. I'm reading this title like I used to read Wolverine or Batman--with a different expectation. And, if it's popularity boosts sales for ARAH, then everyone wins.

It doesn't seem to fit in regular continuity.
Scarlett mentions her brothers but claims she is the only girl in the family. ('Course, even Larry forgot about Sioban. If that's just a slip of Scarlett's mind, then I suppose this could take place in the DDP run right after Scarlett broke up with Snake Eyes the second time. (She threw her engagement ring down and they made up a few issues later. It was a short spat.) Snake Eyes having another tutor after the Arashikake would actually make sense. He is simply too formidable for any other explanation, otherwise. Then when he joined G.I. JOE, he received extensive Special Forces training. |

You are misunderstanding me. Read it and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

I don't think Deadgame is supposed to fit in with any other continuity? I'm guessing Liefeld hasn't read the DDP run. And it obviously isn't part of the Hamaverse since Snake Eyes is dead. Everything I've read and heard from Liefeld is that this is supposed to be an all-new take. So we're familiar with the characters and their origins (more or less) but that's all we're supposed to know. At least that's how I'm approaching it as a reader.
