Review
:
GI Joe #26 sees Helix and Snake Eyes making a sudden appearance in Section Zero, a secret Cobra base in the arctic. Being that they are the only 2 Joes in Section Zero, the odds are overwhelmingly against them. It’s a target rich environment and taking them out ought to be easy for Cobra. However, considering this is Snake Eyes and Helix after all…
One would think that since Snake Eyes is one of the main Joes in this issue, he would be the central focus. In actuality, he’s not. Helix is the primary focus of this issue. For you Helix fans, this is good and bad. Why?
First off, it’s good because she kicks ass in this issue. The artwork for her gun battles is great, with crisp inkwork and good angles for the most part. It’s easy to follow without the special effects for explosions sticking out too much. The gun battles come off as cinematic even. Snake Eyes does not take too much attention away from her in this issue. His timely intervention makes him seem like a deus ex machina though.
Now for the bad part, Helix seems out of character. She doesn’t come off as one with hidden traits that sees the world differently than we do. She just comes off as a soldier with a lot of adrenaline and agility. The fact that she’s a skilled fighter is about the only thing I find familiar about her. Maybe it’s just Dixon’s take on her, but if anything, I liked her better before. She was fairly talkative in this issue, perhaps less dialogue would have been better, and more in-character.
The best parts about this issue were the gun battles and artwork. Kudos to Dixon and Atkins for utilizing cinematic-like sequences, and the artists involved for a polished look. Kudos to Dixon for not over-using Snake Eyes too. Characterization could have been a lot better, especially since Helix is a relatively new character to the GI Joe universe. Not a bad issue, but one in which the artwork fared off much better than the story. An enjoyable read but could have been better.
