“Loose Ends”

In "Loose Ends," the G.I. Joe team pursues Cobra after they shoot Hawk, while Destro grapples with the aftermath of losing the Baroness—still alive but severely injured. With Kwinn and Snake-Eyes on the run from prison and Major Bludd captured and brought to the same hospital, tensions rise as Snake-Eyes, Kwinn, Scar-Face, and Destro converge on a final confrontation in Coney Island. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Mike Vosburg, with inks by Jon D'Agostino and colors by G. Roussos, this pivotal issue blends personal loss with high-stakes action, all framed by Herb Trimpe’s dynamic cover and Steve Mitchell’s sharp inks.
