"Operation: Lady Doomsday" kicks off with a small G.I. Joe team dispatched to a remote Arctic base after all contact goes silent, only to encounter an indigenous guide working for the Russians—setting the stage for a tense, cold-war-era mission. Written by Larry Hama and brought to life with sharp, grounded art by Don Perlin, this issue blends espionage and survival in a stark, isolated setting. The cover by Herb Trimpe and Bob McLeod captures the icy tension perfectly.

In "Hot Potato," Scarlett and Snake-Eyes are stranded in the desert after Rock N Roll departs with a high-stakes package, leaving them to survive on their own. With ammo running low and no immediate rescue in sight, the tension mounts as they wait for Rock N Roll’s return—just as Stalker and Clutch prepare to fly back to Hawk.

When a Joe team is dispatched to a remote Arctic base after all contact goes silent, they uncover a chilling mystery: a lone Eskimo working for the Russians has vanished, leaving behind only cold trails and a growing sense of unease. As the frozen landscape hides its secrets, the team must navigate treacherous terrain and shifting loyalties before the next signal goes dead.
