G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #162
In "Homecoming Redux," Larry Hama and S. L. Gallant deliver a tense, character-driven chapter of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, where Zartan's desperate bid to rally the Dreadnoks at their New Jersey base hits a snag—starvation and a craving for grape soda and doughnuts stand in the way of action. Meanwhile, Baroness is captured during a food run, and Billy’s mind, hijacked by Venom’s scanner, becomes a weapon against Cobra, though only Destro sees the danger. Cover by Herb Trimpe and Larry Hama, with inks by Trimpe, adds a classic touch to this 2011 IDW issue.

As Cobra Commander is in Broca Beach enacting his plan of killing off the Joes in the Pit III, Zartan meets up with the Dreadnoks at their headquarters in New Jersey, wanting them ready when the next opportunity arrives to gain favor. But the Dreadnoks won't work because they're starved and demand their usual fare of grape soda and doughnuts before they do anything else. Baroness confronts Lady Jaye while on the Dreadnok's food run and is captured by her. Billy's mind has been taken over by Venom's scanner so he can enact his revenge on Cobra; Destro is aware of this, but Mindbender's not.
