G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4
SCORE: 66
I am so thankful I am wrapping up this series. Some of my suspicions
about where this series came true. G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4 also threw
in a swerve I was not expecting. Well technically two swerves but that
is okay. One of those swerves makes little sense to me. I guess it works
better in comic books than any other medium. More on that in just a
little bit. There will be spoilers in this review.
The first swerve is Tiff is a midget assassin that was proving she could
get close to the leader of this criminal organization. The second swerve
is related to the sword and its copy. There are numerous back and forth
in conversation until it is revealed which one is which. Another swerve
is Zartan shows up and he is given the Morning Light sword by Storm
Shadow. The sword that Storm Shadow hands to Zartan has the kanji for
forgiveness.
The whole Storm Shadow versus Zartan fight did not go the way I
expected. It made G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4 more interesting than I was
expecting. The issues families will have with G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4
are blood, violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, and more. Pale
Peony puts up a good fight against Storm Shadow in G.I. Joe Storm Shadow
#4 at first. The way Zartan and Storm Shadow talk Pale Peony had no
chance whatsoever.
Ads can be found throughout G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4. There are
twenty-two pages of content within G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4. The artwork
is still not to my personal liking. I love the concept of forgiveness
and Storm Shadow giving Zartan a chance in G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4. The
sword being given to Zartan is something that also took me by surprise.
Tommy had a good reason for it. Tommy felt the last disciple of that
clan should have the sword.
G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4 wraps things up nicely. There are enough
interesting swerves at the end of G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4 to make it
worth the read. I may try and find the first issue at some point in the
future. I know what all happens after that comic book. It still might be
interesting to see the initial setup to this series. The recap on the
back of the front cover of G.I. Joe Storm Shadow #4 is really good.
