Snake Eyes #8

Duke, close to madness and death, resorts to dangerous measures in order to survive. Can Snake Eyes help save his fellow Joe in time? Or will the Cobra Civil War claim another casualty in the heat of battle?

Review
Snake Eyes #8 features a regular cover(cover A) with a photo of
Snake Eyes VS Storm Shadow
(using the 25th Anniversary figures). This is misleading because Storm Shadow is nowhere to be seen in this issue.
Duke has been infected with the Madness Bug, so he and Snake Eyes invade Albania, taking Rodrigo Vargas(also infected), with them.
Kwinn
is brought along to help. Their goal? Bring Vargas to Ray-Pharm so he can share the cure with Duke. There to welcome them are
Vipers
, and
Toxo Vipers
oh my!
The way Dixon sets this up, Duke, Kwinn and Snake Eyes, taking on Vipers, should be exciting. However, it falls short due to the artwork. It looks too simplistic. I'm not sure if Maloney had a tight deadline to face, or if this it's just the style, but the simplicity is noticeable. The clarity is there but it just makes the simplicity more apparent. The art reminds me of pack-in mini-comics for toys.
While at Ray-Pharm, Duke hijacks a Cobra Imp. Pretty cool to see that somewhat obscure vehicle in action. It was also cool seeing the Toxo Vipers(both versions!) used. Seems like the 2nd version was used as a Toxo Viper Commander, which was a cool distinction.
Someone does bite the dust...is it Duke? Well, you'll have to read the issue to find that out for yourself.
Overall the premise of this issue is cool, but fell short in execution. Should you buy it? I suggest flipping through it at the store first. There's been stronger issues in this series, especially in the beginning.
