G.I. Joe: Master & Apprentice

In 2004, Devil's Due Publishing expanded the G.I. Joe mythos with this four-issue miniseries, spotlighting the tense, honor-bound dynamic between Snake-Eyes and his protégé, Kamakura. Illustrated primarily by Stefano Caselli, the story deepens the legacy of the silent ninja master as he trains Sean Broca in the ways of Arashikage. A focused character study, it matters as a bridge between eras, exploring how the mantle of a hero is passed down.
