In "No Simple Solutions," G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #91, the psychological toll of war takes center stage as Clutch’s memories are weaponized by the Dreadnoks and the Baroness using the Brainwave Scanner. Meanwhile, Zartan confronts the Blind Master in a clash that ends in tragedy, leading to a startling revelation and a dramatic transformation as Zartan takes on his fallen rival’s identity. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Tony Salmons with inks by Randy Emberlin, the issue blends intense personal drama with high-stakes action, as Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Timber, and Jinx battle Red Ninjas while Storm Shadow faces the survivor of his past arrow wound. The cover, by Andy Kubert, captures the tension in bold, dynamic lines.
