G.I. Joe #17

In G.I. Joe #17 (2010), written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Robert Atkins with inks by Clayton Brown, the Hard Master guides Snake Eyes through a test of balance by stripping away his sight—only to find that true equilibrium comes not from mastery, but from helping others. Meanwhile, Destro’s time in prison reveals a hidden rule: those who let a prisoner escape or die take their place. As he plots his next move, the tension mounts in a world where every choice carries a price. The cover, by David Williams, captures the weight of that reckoning.
