DDP: G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Snake Eyes Declassified #4 (2005)
 
In 2001, Devil's Due Press, initially using Image Comics to distribute their titles, revived the G.I. Joe property in comic book form. The success of the G.I. Joe comic allowed Devil's Due to branch out to more properties and eventually break off from Image to be their own company. While primarily continuing the stories from the Marvel Comics series, Devil's Due experimented with creating its continuities.
 
Cobra Commander's plan to have Snake Eyes murdered is revealed. The Faceless Master, actually Firefly, has turned down Cobra Commander's deal to kill Snake Eyes, and gives him a reference of a guy who will do the job, Zartan. The divide between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow grows and everyone knows it. Zartan becomes Professor Onihashi's apprentice and makes Snake Eyes a sword. Storm Shadow shoots the squirrel with the "ear that sees" technique.
