UK issues 11 and 12 reprint the US issue dealing with Stalker, Scarlett and Hawk's investigation of the I Ching tattoo that both Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes have on their arms and the three's recollections about Snake Eyes, whilst the Soft Master info-dumps stuff about Snake Eyes' ninja training to Snake Eyes (yeah, he reminds Snake Eyes of his own back story...)

that's where Stalker relates the story of Snake Eyes getting shot when they were being picked up at the LZ and Tommy Arishikage rescued him and used the strapping on his wrist to bind Snake Eyes' injuries, exposing the tattoo, Scarlett related her story about training the first Joes and decking Snake Eyes and Hawk tells how he was the one to tell SE his parents and sister had been killed and then about recruiting Snakes into the Joes some time later.

Not a problem. Do you know torrents at all? I recommend http://www.utorrent.com/.

Don't bother getting the Action Force section, it's a mess. You can download the complete set directly from the Comics archive here. You will need to install CDisplay to view the files.

Sweet. Drop me a PM if you get any hassles.

Good tip with CDisplay - open up a file, right-click and hit Configure, then select the "Fit Width" box for full-screen view.

Absolutely stunning work - Red Dawn whouls look amazing. The only downside is that there will be a big gulf between the art in the first 3 comics (which is still excellent but not at the level of this artist who is top level by the looks of it).

People who are made mute often can make noises (and there are multiple causes from temporary viral to strokes (aphasia and dysarthria are problems with speech centres and the musculature of speech respectively) or indeed trauma). It may also be psychological.

Burnt vocal chords are likely to still be able to vocalise sounds, if not actual words, and certainly screaming, though not creating noice (though it's likely he would), would mean that he would scream.

In fact the only major issue with the scream is not the medical issue at all, but rather that Snake Eyes is usually too calm in battle to express emotion that openly.

Of course none of that distracts from the art at all, which is, literally, sublime!
