G.I. Joe #2
This volume collects the early issues of IDW's 2014 G.I. Joe series, following the team as they face a new global threat dubbed the Threat Matrix. Key characters like Roadblock, Cover Girl, and Shipwreck are featured in a storyline that redefines the Joes' mission and internal dynamics.
"Chapter 1" of G.I. Joe (2014, IDW) kicks off with a gripping flashback to the first meeting between Monk and Duke, setting the stage for a tense, character-driven story. Written by Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Steve Kurth, with inks by Allen Martinez, colors by Joana Lafuente, and letters by Shawn Lee, the issue unfolds through a series of high-stakes missions and personal betrayals, including Tunnel Rat and Roadblock foiling a fake bomb, Quick Kick uncovering defective weapons, and the Commander confronting Destro over a past betrayal. The story’s emotional core emerges as Monk escapes, reconnects with his family, and faces a dangerous threat that forces Doc to make a desperate move—while Duke makes a quiet, personal decision that reshapes his future. The cover, by Jamal Igle, captures the tension with a striking, dynamic image.
In "Chapter 4" of G.I. Joe #2 (2014), the team fractures into three urgent missions: Tunnel Rat, Cover Girl, and Roadblock chase a subway bomber, while Shipwreck, Duke, and Quick Kick go after the weapon-sellers Zandar and Zanara. Meanwhile, Doc scans for a biochemical threat, and Duke is pulled away by a call from Destro—only for Scarlett to intercept it and send her team to stop him. As Monk turns Destro into the Commander, Duke faces off against him while Doc discovers a bomb strapped to Aisha.
In "Chapter 5" of G.I. Joe #2 (2014), a tense flashback reveals the origins of Monk and Duke’s fraught history, setting the stage for a story where loyalty is tested and past betrayals resurface. As the team confronts threats from within—ranging from fake bombs to hidden weapons—personal rifts deepen, culminating in a violent clash between Monk and Duke that’s cut short by a sudden assault. With lives hanging in the balance and family ties strained, the stakes rise as secrets come to light and survival depends on choices made in the shadows.
In "Chapter 6" of G.I. Joe #2 (2014), Roadblock is haunted by the ghost of his cousin Heavy Duty—literally, when he logs into their shared Sigma 6 game and sees him, only to vanish moments later. Driven by grief and disbelief, Roadblock tracks the game’s IP address to an abandoned base, where he’s ambushed by Snake Eyes and forced to fight his way through a deadly test. After the confrontation, Heavy Duty reveals himself—alive, but not quite what he once was—and earns a place on the team.
