I promised myself I wouldn’t post about this episode… the ridicule… the insult… the depravity performed upon my favorite character in the G.I. Joe mythology was almost too painful to revisit here on my website. But for the good of the listeners, I decided to be the bigger man.
Unfortunately a 103 degree fever and gut-punching flu bug kept me from participating in this episode, but that didn’t stop the boys and guest Ed Lydon from piling on poor Hit & Run. I’ll remember this, fellas. As an aside, there is a terrific interview (that I did participate in) with Andrew Kishino, the voice of Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe: Renegades! That almost makes it all worthwhile.

A “silent” issue in homage to the classic G.I. JOE #21. But this time it’s Storm Shadow in ninja action. He’s survived the massacre of the Arashikage clan and is seeking payback. But he needs to visit the Hard Master before he heads out on the road to vengeance and, possibly, his own destruction. It’s swords and shadows as an era comes to an end.
