Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow #19 - Target: Snake Eyes Part 4 Review

Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow #19 Review


Is the mission to bring down the Arashikage Clan a matter of national security or a private vendetta for Scarlett? And, when it comes to a life or death battle with Snake Eyes, who will walk away? The answers lie here in the most game-changing, controversial G.I. JOE story-line this year!

Cover/Solicit - 4/5

- Would I pick-up the comic based on the solicit/cover alone? Are the alternate covers appealing? Does the solicit/cover portray what happens in the issue?

Art - 5/5

- Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance?

Colors/Ink/Lettering - 5/5

- Does the work blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening? Can I easily read the lettering?

Layout/Flow - 5/5

- Does the layout of the issue make it easy to read? Does the issue have a good flow of the plot and keep me engaged?

Story - 4/5

- Weighted Triple. How well did the issue further develop the current story? How well did the issue further develop the characters? Did I enjoy reading the issue?



Verdict - 4.4

- The G.I. Joe IDW reboot comics are some of my favorites (I'm not as much a fan of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero). This issue continues the Target Snake Eyes story arc, where everyone from COBRA and G.I. Joe to Storm Shadow and the Arashikage Clan are out to capture Snake Eyes. Unlike Batwoman I didn't mind the use of double-page spreads, and it's probably because the flow from panel to panel and the scenes made more sense. The only issue I had with the story was because of the multiple teams involved it does bounce around a bit. Overall this was a great issue and I can't want to read the rest of the arc.
