3,426 books1,026 followersFollowFollowCharles "Chuck" Dixon is an American comic book writer, perhaps best-known for long runs on Batman titles in the 1990s.His earliest comics work was writing Evangeline first for Comico Comics in 1984 (then later for First Comics, who published the on-going series), on which he worked with his then-wife, the artist Judith Hunt. His big break came one year later, when editor Larry Hama hired him to write back-up stories for Marvel Comics' The Savage Sword of Conan.In 1986, he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy with artist Tim Truman. Continuing to write for both Marvel and (mainly) Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August 1987 and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October 1987, he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, under editor Archie Goodwin. He also produced a three-issue adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between 1989 and 1990, and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June 1989.His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series. The mini proved popular enough to spawn two sequels - The Joker's Wild (1991) and Cry of the Huntress (1992) - which led to both an ongoing monthly series (which Dixon wrote for 100 issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics), and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from #644-738 through the major Batman stories KnightFall & KnightsEnd (for which he helped create the key character of Bane), DC One Million , Contagion , Legacy , Cataclysm and No Man's Land . Much of his run was illustrated by Graham Nolan.He was DC's most prolific Batman-writer in the mid-1990s (rivalled perhaps in history by Bill Finger and Dennis O'Neil) - in addition to writing Detective Comics he pioneered the individual series for Robin , Nightwing (which he wrote for 70 issues, and returned to briefly with 2005's #101) and Batgirl , as well as creating the team and book Birds of Prey .While writing multiple Punisher and Batman comics (and October 1994's Punisher/Batman crossover), he also found time to launch Team 7 for Jim Lee's WildStorm/Image and Prophet for Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios. He also wrote many issues of Catwoman and Green Arrow , regularly having about seven titles out each and every month between the years 1993 and 1998.In March, 2002, Dixon turned his attention to CrossGen's output, salthough he co-wrote with Scott Beatty the origin of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl in 2003's Batgirl: Year One. For CrossGen he took over some of the comics of the out-going Mark Waid, taking over Sigil from #21, and Crux with #13. He launched Way of the Rat in June 2002, Brath (March '03), The Silken Ghost (June '03) and the pirate comic El Cazador (Oct '03), as well as editing Robert Rodi's non-Sigilverse The Crossovers. He also wrote the Ruse spin-off Archard's Agents one-shots in January and November '03 and April '04, the last released shortly before CrossGen's complete collapse forced the cancellation of all of its comics, before which Dixon wrote a single issue of Sojourn (May '04). Dixon's Way of the Rat #24, Brath #14 and El Cazador #6 were among the last comics released from the then-bankrupt publisher.On June 10, 2008, Dixon announced on his forum that he was no longer "employed by DC Comics in any capacity."

It wasn’t traditional but didn’t stray from comic art too much. I quite like it. There were several poster quality pieces in here.Story, I loved it. Basically Snake Eyes goes rogue and rejoins his Ninja Clan that used to work for Cobra but is now fighting them. Joes think he’s out to kill everybody, because his clan is out to get everybody, so they go after Snake Eyes. The result, an epic three-way of violence. The ninja storyline in here is deep, I really like the tension between Sanke and his bro, Storm Shadow. Then there are the elder ninjas. The Hard Master and The Soft Master. The Hard Master doesn’t really do much more than a cameo. But The Soft Master goes hard, and shows off why he’s The Soft Master.I like more gore and sex in my comics, but I knew going into GI JOE I wasn’t going to get any of that. So I won’t deduct points for it. Ryan Permison86 reviews3 followersFollowFollowApril 20, 2022Since I didn’t grow up on this property, I was curious to learn more about these characters. Despite good artwork, action scenes and decent dialogue I can’t say this did much for me. Plus, it leaves you on a cliffhanger which I am not always a fan of, especially since this is a standalone story. I enjoy the live action trilogy of movies. But, maybe someday I’ll read another GI Joe story that makes me an official fan. Profile Image for Don.Don1,479 reviews11 followersFollowFollowJanuary 9, 2021This was the culmination of the GI Joe and Snake Eyes&Storm Shadow stories coming together. Both were very good titles by themselves but this big ending was spectacular. Each had a one shot issue for the end of the run and I enjoyed each thoroughly. Especially the silent issue #21 to wrap up the Snakes Eyes and Storm Shadow title. This was an excellent run if you don’t include this season of the Cobra title. The slate is totally clean for the next season and a fresh start.

I didn't mind that, and it was easy enough to tell who was good and who was bad through the dialogue. Unfortunately, the drawings were very dark, and it was hard for me to discern who was who and what was being shown (did someone just get impaled, or is that a sidearm??). Lots of blood and body parts, but I couldn't always tell whose! I read this as an e-book, so I imagine some of that will be better in print.

That said, there's a lot of ninjas going on in this book. I enjoyed it, except for the part where the ninjas are mostly cannon fodder.What is this, You Only Live Twice?Or maybe those ninjas deserved to die because it was so easy to kill them.Anyhow, this seemed to be a fairly accessible part of GI Joe that I would recommend to guys who like stories with Ninjas. Go Joe.

There are bits I like (some of the action moments read nostalgic, Larry Hama influenced...) but for the most part it didn't really come across as a particularly "Joe" story.Not bad at all but not one of the better Joe books out there.Profile Image for Dan.Dan63 reviewsFollowFollowMay 5, 2015A wonderful conclusion to the Cobra vs. G.I.Joe vs. Arishikage clan saga. Follow Scarlett and her team as they hunt down Snake Eyes to determine where his allegiances truly lie. There is great action and glorious battles aplenty. The art is once again beautiful and really adds to the story being told. A wonderful book all around!
