I'm not sure why you guys seem to think Slice & Dice are / were Arashikage. Khalikhan says that the clan was divided, but doesn't say that S & D are Arashikage...

Overall, a good issue, but I too was annoyed at:

1) throwing something from under water (I'll assume SE jumped out of water and threw it up before Slice got to the edge--what we see on panel is the splash of his arm re-entering water)

2) Helix miraculously finding Khalikhan (I'll assume she put a knife to someone's throat to guide her there)

3) Helix flying a copter (let's assume the pilots kept the helo running, so she "only" had to do a take-off and a landing -- lots of downtime at the Pit, she just happened to do flight simulations).

Another annoyance on PAGE 2: the Arashikage symbol wrong again! See Snake-Eyes's sword.

I'm trying to accept Helix but she is becoming somewhat of a Mary Sue. I find what she does is somewhat realistic. She has a hyper awareness that helps her predict the actions of an opponent. Not really farfetched when you consider that reading body language is a real skill. She also seems to have photographic reflexes. A little harder to swallow but again, I wouldn't say it's a super power. Problem is that she doesn't have a major flaw to balance out her abilities. If she's similar to an autistic savant then limit her social skills. Right now, she's just another badass comic book chick.

And that is exactly why I cannot stand that character. Even Superman has Kryptonite. What is her flaw? She cannot identify people by their face????? WTF???? Kill her off please.

She has only one flaw: political correctness. Almost every movie and comic has to make women just as strong and smarter than the men around them, while they sport double D breasts and weigh 95 lbs (or is that considered fat? I tend to forget what the ideal measurements are) and can kick the crap out of a martial arts expert that outweighs them by 200+ lbs. ... Ridiculous? Yes. But it is the average female character that has been forced upon us since the '80s...

:roll:
