“Double-Blinded!!!”

In "Double-Blinded!!!", the hunt for the mysterious Blue Ninjas intensifies as Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow (with Boris), and Cobra Commander each pursue separate leads—only for the enemy to strike back with deadly precision. With Boris dead and the Blue Ninjas infiltrating Broca Beach through Revanche Robotics, Cobra Commander’s world unravels when a returning Viper trooper discovers his family murdered and his uniforms stolen. Meanwhile, Duke, Scarlett, and Stalker lend a hand to Snake-Eyes, who’s receiving unexpected aid from the Baroness. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by S. L. Gallant, with inks by Gary Erskine, colors by Andrew Crossley, and letters by Shawn Lee, the cover by Ron Frenz and Sal Buscema captures the tension of a war where trust is the first casualty.
