Review: G.I. Joe #20 - Target: Snake Eyes Part 5

G.I. Joe #20 Review


G.I. Joe #20 CoverTARGET: SNAKE EYES hurtles toward its shocking conclusion! SERPENTOR'S FANG BRIGADE closes in on the Arashikage refuge deep in the jungle. HELIX and SNAKE EYES battle for their lives surrounded on all sides by warring foes. The G.I. JOE team rides to the rescue-but will they find a battlefield or a graveyard?

Cover/Solicit - 3/5

- 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/Colors/Ink - 4/5

- Weighted Double
- Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance? Does the coloring/inking blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening?

Layout/Flow - 3/5

- 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? Can I easily read the issue, to include lettering?

Story - 3/5

- 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 - 3.3

- After all the buildup we are finally at the conclusion of the Target Snake Eyes arc. The first thing that annoys me with the issue is the cover. Every time I see it something bothers me. We have Scarlett whose proportions are completely wrong, she not only looks squat but a little to voluptuous. The next is the let down of the issue itself. We have been building to this great confrontation between Storm Shadow, COBRA, Soft Master, and G.I. Joe but what we get is a couple of COBRA Vipers getting themselves killed, a kid taking out Soft Master, Storm Shadow defending Snake-Eyes, and G.I. Joe forgetting is indiscretions. While not a horrible story I was really expecting more of a battle. This is probably best read in the TPB so you get the whole story at once.
