G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #131
In "Last Stand," the Commander's defeat at the Pit III sets off a tense retreat, but not before he secures a new anti-radar system that gave him the edge—now he plans to sell it. As he returns to Cobra Island, Firefly has seized control, only to be confronted by the Ninja Force, freed from his brainwashing by Snake-Eyes’s Arashikage training. The cover by Andrew Wildman captures the moment of confrontation, while Larry Hama’s writing and Andrew Wildman’s art bring the stakes to a boiling point.

The Commander is defeated by the Joes, but retreats so as to sell his new anti-radar system, which allowed him to attack the Pit III so easily. Meanwhile, as he retreats back to Cobra Island, Firefly has taken over, but the Joes' Ninja Force leave, having freed themselves from Firefly's brainwashing thanks to Snake-Eyes's Arashikage ninja training, and when he arrives and wonders why no pomp and circumstance for him, he sees Firefly atop his headquarters. He then tells him he can keep the captured Zarana and Cesspool, but The Joes back at the Pit III have other plans for that system.
