GI Joe: Retaliation #3 (Official Movie Prequel)



sketch variant of issue #3
 
  While training under Snake Eyes’ Blind Master, we delve deeper into the origin of Snake Eyes. Here, we see Snake training to be a ninja and when his master is killed by Storm Shadow, he takes a vow of silence. We later see him joining up to be a Joe. So, here’s my question- if you take a vow of silence, how in the heck do you join the Army? I would think they’d require you to speak up during the application process and I am sure the drill sergeant would be pissed if you refused to response to his orders by not replying “Sir, Yes Sir!” At least in the Marvel Comics, Snake had joined the Army before becoming a ninja and lost his ability to speak during Vietnam. So again, I ask, how did this happened if he’s not spoken a word for years prior to ever enlisting in the movie universe?
 
Other than that nagging question I enjoyed this issue very much. There’s still that secret voice on the other end of the line talking with Gen. Hawk and I’m not sure who it is. We are informed that this “voice” is a sort of pro scout, seeking out the best of the best to join the Joes. But, I’m still not any further into learning this mystery man’s ID.
 
Worth Consuming.
 
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
