Action Force #3/1990

In the midst of the escalating Cobra Island Civil War, Destro launches a bold offensive from a newly seized airport base, tightening his grip on the island’s strategic heart. With Serpentor’s forces still holding out and the Joes caught in the crossfire, Hawk’s sudden liberation from Fred VII’s faction throws the balance of power into flux—just as the next move in this brutal conflict is about to be made.

In "Med alle midler," the chaos of Cobra Island's civil war reaches a fever pitch as Serpentor falls to an arrow fired by Zartan, marking a turning point in the conflict. With the power vacuum left by Serpentor’s death, Mindbender strikes a deal with Fred, elevating him to sole leader of Cobra and forcing the Joes to retreat. Amid the shifting alliances, Destro finds redemption in reuniting with the Baroness—leaving the island not with a battle cry, but with quiet resolve.
