IDW Publishing has introduced a new Snake Eyes to the world of G. I. Joe and readers. The story is written by, long time G. I. Joe scribe, Larry Hama with art by Netho Diaz, who also did the cover art that we have pictured. The story takes the memories of Snake Eyes and implants them into a different person. Now remember G. I. Joe, even though is in a fairly present day setting, still uses fantastical storytelling, so just enjoy and have fun with it. The story lines runs through issue #246 – #250, of G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero, and will be collected afterwards by IDW for libraries and those that like collected editions rather than issues. Here’s the trailer from IDW’s YouTube channel:
