G.I. Joe #10

G.I. Joe #10 (2013, IDW) kicks off with a pivotal flashback to the first meeting between Monk and Duke, setting the stage for a tense, character-driven story. As Tunnel Rat and Roadblock foil a fake bomb threat, Quick Kick uncovers a web of deception involving Zandar and Zanara’s useless weapons, while the Commander confronts Destro over a betrayal that fractures trust. Written by Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Steve Kurth—with inks by Allen Martinez, colors by Joana Lafuente, and letters by Shawn Lee—this issue deepens the series’ personal stakes, culminating in a dramatic confrontation that sends Monk fleeing to reunite with his family. The cover, by Steve Kurth and Allen Martinez, captures the moment’s intensity.
