Story: Firefly infiltrates a Soviet Union military base in the Sayan Mountains and while searching their computers for POWs, is almost captured by the Oktober Guard but is able to get away. Later, he comes across an Afghan woman in a prison.
Writing: This issue, another "Sssilent" issue, does a great job showcasing how dangerous Firefly has always been in the comics. He has physical skills on par with the ninjas, is able to take down, silently, many of the soldiers in the base, plant explosives, and access computer systems. The nice thing about this issue is we're not too sure who Firefly is actually working for in this issue.
Art: Some great art here. First off, the Cobra Ice Snake (a high-speed, arctic attack vehicle with jaw snapping roll cage) makes an appearance, which is pretty cool when these vehicles from the end of the original ARAH toy run show up. We also get some "video game" side-scrolling views as Firefly goes through the base, which is pretty neat to see how he's doing it quickly. The art really sets the mood for the issue too... being an infiltration mission it should be silent and we should see just how good of a saboteur Firefly is.
Overall: A great addition to the "Sssilent" issue series, Firefly really captures what the character is all about. He's dangerous and will do whatever it takes to get the mission done with. Some great art to go with it as well.
