The hunt has begun. Part 2 of the new G.I. JOE crossover “Target: Snake Eyes” finds the ninja clan Arashikage hunting down Cobra’s money supply as both Cobra and the JOE’s try to hunt down the Arashikage and the former JOE who is helping them – Snake Eyes.
When an attack on Cobra’s vaults in Budapest comes up empty the ninja clan track Cobra’s wealth to the airfield (as they plan to use it to buy the country of Fineske). Snake Eyes is able to board the plane but most of his ninja strike force is slaughtered – something that doesn’t go unnoticed by the the team’s sole survivor who reports to Storm Shadow he’s unsure whose side their new ally is truly on.
Meanwhile, Helix continues on her own path to find Snake Eyes which leads her to a meeting with the Hard Master. And Serpentor discovers he has underestimated the Soft Master and finds the captor has become the prey. However, the ninja master offers the cult leader a partnership to take down their mutual enemy – Snake Eyes. Worth a look.
