G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #17

In "Snake in the Grass Part 2," Dawn makes a daring move to steal Morning Light from the museum, while Cutter and Deep Six uncover a hidden B.A.T. factory beneath Broca Beach. As Bombstrike breaks free from confinement, Duke, Roadblock, and Mainframe launch a covert mission into Benzheen to locate Claire—unaware that someone is watching her every step, and a missile strike is already being readied.

In "Snake in the Grass Part 3," Cutter and Deep Six flood the Broca Beach facility, trapping the B.A.T.S. inside, while Dr. Biggles-Jones shoots Bombstrike—only for her to survive, the bullet glancing off her scalp. Dawn encounters Storm Shadow in New York, and as the Jugglers send a drone to eliminate Faoud, Claire outsmarts it, saving him. Duke and Roadblock arrive to rescue Claire and capture Faoud, but the Jugglers unleash an assassin to stop them.

In "Snake in the Grass Part 4," Claire’s true allegiance comes to light as she reveals her resistance to the Jugglers’ mind control—her mission was never to kill Faoud, but to capture him alive. When Anouk intervenes, the fragile plan unravels in a moment of violent consequence. Meanwhile, Bombstrike races across Olliestan on a motorcycle with Leila, Storm Shadow’s family prepares to formally train Dawn, and Zartan warns the Cobra Commander of the growing threat she poses. Wade, meanwhile, returns to Springfield under a new identity, blending back into civilian life as a different 'Fred' series Crimson Guard.
