Scorpion - Crossroads

Road trip! Team Scorpion signs up to protect a federal witness (Ginger Gonzaga), pressured into testifying by the U.S. Government, whose testimony could take down the leader of a powerful drug cartel (Jason Manuel Olazabal) who will stop and nothing to make sure the woman never makes it to the courthouse alive. Despite an intricate plan involving decoy vehicles and disguising the witness as a prisoner things fall apart almost immeadiately. Realizing the drug lord has a mole somewhere within the chain of command it falls to the team on their own, without any back-up, to deliver the woman in one piece.

Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra #3

Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra #3Most of G.I. JOE: Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra #3 isn’t spent with Snake Eyes, although we do get some of Chameleon feeding the former JOE intelligence to help his search, but instead the story is mainly focused on his target: the former Cobra Commander’s son. We get a long look at Billy’s life off the grid in Thailand with Ronin his only friend and protector.

Along with a look at Billy‘s nomadic current lifestyle G.I. JOE: Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra #3 also gives readers a glimpse of his life as Cobra Commander’s son. The only big action scene takes place during one of these flashbacks showing us why Billy has turned his back on the life he was born into.

Although lighter on action than last month’s issue, after Billy steps in to commit a foolishly heroic action things go from bad to worse as both assassins and the Arashikage Clan send men after him setting up what you would assume would be an action-heavy fourth issue. And of course we still have a Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow confrontation to come before the series concludes. Worth a look.
