We're getting to the point where Mike Costa's really going to trick the uninitiated to love his comics, because finally Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow will clash.
And it's because of Ronin. The funny thing is, she's been in this position before, the exact position Costa leaves her in by the end of this issue. So I'm not worried about her. I mean, I should be, because Costa been evil like that before. But he wouldn't do it again. Would he?
Even if that's how he chooses to go, Costa has once again deepened his overall Cobra experience by continuing to spotlight characters he's been writing for years across a variety of titles but all basically the same continuing story. In this instance it's also a direct continuation of last issue, which featured Billy, the son of the late Cobra Commander, whom Ronin has been watching since some prior point in this complex tapestry. So this issue is all about Ronin's perspective. This is the first time Costa has allowed Ronin to be the hero of the story rather than merely a supporting player. All with all his characters, Costa has previously explained her poignant origins, but that's not what's important here. The more time she's spent with Billy the more important he's become to her. This is what Costa does, folks. He twists the knife.
Again, hopefully not literally...
