First, I'd like to say bringing Michael Ironside back as Sam is completely an epic win for everyone. To me, Ironside gave Sam that edge. That you knew Sam was incontrol of the situation just from Ironside's voice alone.

Second, Sam's new look is flawless. I agree, I am glad Ubi got rid of the hobo look like Sam was in some downward spiral and didnt care anymore. The fact that Sam looks like he's been keeping in shape, and holding true to his nature as the ultimate spy is what I was hoping for. Its great to see Sam have some of his old flare too.

I've been a splinter cell fan since issue 1 and I am very pleased to see the new Sam.
