"Wanted" kicks off IDW’s 2011 G.I. Joe series with a high-stakes escape and a chilling twist: Storm Shadow, now a captive, vows to reclaim his sword brother, Snake-Eyes, who’s been turned into a brainwashed Cobra agent under Dr. Venom’s lingering influence. As Hawk launches a covert hunt for sleeper agents within the U.S. government, the Joes race against time with Wild Bill’s help—knowing that the real battle may already be inside their own ranks. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated with sharp precision by Agustín Padilla, the cover by Hama and Padilla captures the tension perfectly.
