I don't know why they went with that visor design, but he's now back to the original goggle-style visor. There are three issues of the G.I Joe World War Three story line left, and while Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow are both on the same side now, they haven't fought side-by-side. I hope they do so before the series ends in July.
Nice to talk to a fellow fan. Two spoiler-y things from the last issue:
1. Storm Shadow in the latest issue = badass.
2. Cobra Commander didn’t really just murder his own son, did he!?
