Story: In Sierra Gordo, the Joe team of Jinx, Dawn, Cover Girl, and Sherlock finish taking down a Terror Drome. However, an explosion knocks Dawn around, revealing more memories from Snake-Eyes and Dr. Venom using his Brainwave Scanner on Snake-Eyes way back in issue 10. On Cobra Island. Dr. Mindbender gets notified about these memories as well.
Writing: Hama easily wraps up the Terror Drome story while introducing a new problem for Snake-Eyes. Hama introduced the world to Dr. Venom, Cobra's original mad scientist back in the early days of the comic's run in the 1980's and has continued to use the dead character and his brainwave scanner again and again. He's a favorite villain that, while dead, just keeps coming back!
Art: It's nice to see Dawn without her mask on all the time in this issue. Sometimes not showing the full face and eyes can restrict the type of emotions and feelings a character is trying to provide. Overall, the art is great. Krahnke has some fun with the memories art and how it looks.
Overall: While, initially, it seems like a basic issue with the Joes finishing up their mission in Seirra Gordo, it quickly becomes apparent that Hama has some more bad news for Snake-Eyes, Dawn and Sean Collins/Throwdown. And going way back to when Snake-Eyes was captured is a deep dive but the comic gives you enough to understand what happened.
