Very nice! I like Mooneyham, but I like this too. Looks rather retro.

I'm not familiar with Pelletier but I love what I see. Reminds me of Ron Wagner. Between this and Mooneyham, I feel very spoiled.

I guess we can infer from the synopsis that Snake Eyes and Scarlett didn't die in the Blue Ninja attack, though I doubt anyone expected them to really be dead. Intrigued by the mention that something bad will to someone dear to them in Springfield; the solicits make it seem like the Springfield storyline is focused on Dawn, but I don't think she's close enough to Scarlett or Snake Eyes (especially Snake Eyes, who has only been aware of her existence for, at most, a day or two) to merit the "dear" descriptor.

>As Snake Eyes and Scarlett begin a new chapter,
A new chapter as they become ninja ghosts >tragedy strikes for someone dear to them in Springfield... Presumably tragedy strikes Dawn who is in Springfield (with her parents) |

Speaking of Dawn, is she ever going to get a proper codename?!? |

For a codename, the two main issues I see are that, in-universe, there's no point in trying to conceal her identity when Cobra already knows it, and in real life, she's gone for so long without a codename that readers are still going to think of her primarily as "Dawn" or "female Snake Eyes" no matter what new name they give her.

I wonder what Zartan's secret is, and how it will change everything.

Assuming the "change everything" is not marketing hyperbole: this preview shows him being targeted by a Revanche missile, so maybe he's found something Revanche doesn't want him to have, like a means of controlling or destroying the Blue Ninja hive mind.
