About this Collection

This volume collects issues from the ongoing G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series, continuing the classic storyline as the team faces a new threat involving artificial intelligence. The story arc, titled 'Artificial Intelligence,' pits the Joes against advanced technology that challenges their traditional combat methods. Written by Larry Hama, this collection maintains the long-running continuity of the original Marvel series, now published by IDW.

In "Artificial Intelligence Part 1," Dusty and Cover Girl lead a mission in Shazidar as their team joins forces with Airborne to protect aid workers and children, only to face a tough choice when space on a C-130 limits their evacuation—forcing Cover Girl to leave behind a Chenowth loaded with C-4. As Joystick launches a final drone strike to trigger the explosives, the action shifts to Kansas, where Destro and the Baroness battle their way out of the Revanche silo, pursued by the relentless Alpha 001 Prime. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Netho Diaz, with inks by Jagdish Kumar and colors by J. Brown, this issue features a cover by Netho Diaz that captures the tension of the moment.
