i see a thread was started about issue 1 but i felt it would be good to talk about the whole series since it is almost finished. I am curious what you all think about the Arashikage Clan parts of the story. I like how brandon showed the arashikage Clan was honorable ninjas. I also liked how he used sato and the other ninjas breaking away from the clan(thus explaining the red ninjas in the Marvel series) One day, i am going to make me an underground chamber with a ninja suit and lots of ninjutsu weapons! wouldnt that be cool???

I like the flow of the stories. I never collected much of the Marvel run and my knowledge of this story was limited. That make me appreciate this mini-series even more. Brandon Jerwa really shines with these min-series', I hope he gets another writing gig with DDP. I also like the art, much better then M&A2. I'm looking forward to the last issue (#6).

i agree that Brandon is a great writer! DDP will regret it if they let him go! Brandon has so many stories that should be told!

I believe that I have every issue except #1 cause everybody problaby bought doubles when it first came out so when I get the first issue then I'll start ready them. I'll bet I'm missing out on alot of action here?

I'll bet I'm missing out on alot of action here? well, alot of it is just established canon but brandon did a really good job fleshing out certain events that everyone thought they already knew. For example, we know about ramon, dickie and wade dying(wade actually lived and became a POW) but i was surprised to find out that Snake Eyes was with a squad before that time that got totally wiped out...except for tommy and him(Thus, explaining why the two was soo close as friends by the time they met stalker) It is things like this that just really makes me Love Brandon!

That's what I like the most about the series is the added details to the original story. I'm now waiting to see when Snake Eyes gets his face mangled saving Scarlett.

Then again, maybe they were or they were just in training. I believe the latter. I also believe it was wild bill piloting that helicopter that got snake eyes, stalker and tommy out of vietnam.(but that's just an opinion)

I just go the first two issues from my comic store, I have the rest to issue 5. I haven't read them all but I like how Storm Shadow is becoming jealous of Snake Eyes. I guess the small girl is to be Jinx? I like Zartan too.

Some on the DDP boards doubted that at first but Brandon confirmed it in the 5th book and i was kiddingly like "I told you so" In the Marvel series, Blind Master and Jinx was talking about the photo. It is a small detail but i wonder who took that photo. it was either zartan or that other older woman(considering these two were the only ones not in the picture)

Does Jinx and Storm Shadow even talk to each other in the Marvel comic since they were family?

Does Jinx and Storm Shadow even talk to each other in the Marvel comic since they were family? no one knows who the older woman is(except brandon) Maybe she is noone important but my opinion is that she may be jinx's mother(which goes along with a story i wrote) i also think she could have potential as a romantic possibility for tommy. does jinx and storm shadow talk to each other? yes, i do believe so.

I got the last issue (#6) today. A pretty good read. All in all a very good series in general. I hope they (DDP) continues to do these mini-series. As for #6, it was good to see how Snake Eyes got disfigured and I think it was written very well. I also liked the Baroness' blue and gold uniform. My only minor gripe was with Cobra Commander. I'm not much for seeing CC's face. I also don't know what time this was to take place but his "New World Order" quote didn't sit well with me. I just don't think (and remember) that phrase being said in any regularity in the world public prior to being coined by George Bush (the elder) in 1990 or thereabout. You Ministry fans may remember that from the single N.W.O. Just a minor nitpick.

I still won't read my issues until I get #1 and it looks like I will have to go the Ebay route cause my comic book dealer couldn't find one for me.
