Well, this Red Ninja filler arc is finally over. Thank God. For whatever reason the folks at Devil’s Due thought it was best to pad-out the return of Cobra Commander with a cheesy fake death story for Snake-Eyes. The end result was rather boring, as was Duke’s subplot in which he takes down a rogue Crimson Guardsman. The final “twist”, T’jbang’s true identity, is ridiculously goofy and “magical”, having no place in a G.I. Joe comic book. Indeed, G.I. Joe is at its worst when it focuses too much attention on the mystical ninja aspect instead of the military intrigue. Still, the filler’s finally out of the way and we can at last get to what we’ve all been waiting for, the return of Cobra Commander.
