“The Battle of Springfield”

In "The Battle of Springfield," the G.I. Joe team pushes through a brutal urban siege to reclaim the city, rescuing Ripcord just as Cobra’s forces retreat to Cobra Island. Storm Shadow’s shocking return—thanks to a forgotten ninja ruse—brings a haunting connection to Serpentor’s origins, while Hawk faces the fallout as evidence vanishes. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Rod Whigham, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and colors by George Roussos, this pivotal issue delivers high-stakes action and emotional weight. Mike Zeck and John Beatty’s cover captures the intensity of the final clash.

The assault on Springfield concludes with the Joes taking the city, and rescuing Ripcord, but not before all the Cobras head off for Cobra Island as Serpentor leads a distracting counterattack. Storm Shadow miraculously returns to life after using an old ninja trick to save him from the Baroness's fatal shots earlier; while with the Dreadnoks and Zartan's sister Zarana he returns with memories that were used to create Serpentor last issue. Hawk has to face the music as all Cobra evidence in Springfield has been destroyed.
