G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #165

"Shocks and Rockets!!!" delivers a pulse-pounding chapter in IDW’s G.I. Joe saga, where Ace thwarts Dr. Mindbender’s airstrike on the Pit III, setting off a chaotic aerial battle. Amid the explosions, Spirit’s survival from last issue is confirmed as Tunnel Rat and Tripwire scavenge for unexploded ordnance, while Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow battle Dr. Venom’s control over Billy—using a scanner to trap Venom’s digital consciousness in a vision of Kwinn’s capture. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by S. L. Gallant, with inks by Gary Erskine and colors by J. Brown, this 2011 issue blends high-stakes action with the series’ signature tactical precision. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Herb Trimpe and Larry Hama, captures the moment’s intensity.
