From the reviews and preview pages I like the way that characters like Destro, Baroness, Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow are being handled.
A description of the characters from the Confidential G.I. Joe Files book is below (source:

Also, the redhead is in serious need of a new hairstyle that doesn't make it look like she has a receding hairline. Besides that, she's a redhead. That's hard to pull off IMO unless it's naked and getting drilled.
Better?
