G.I. Joe Comics Magazine #10

In the sweltering depths of the Everglades, the hunt turns deadly when Junkyard’s betrayal sends the Cobras straight into a hidden trap of quicksand. This pivotal chapter reveals the shared past of Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow, tracing the roots of their bond before the rivalry that would define them.

In "Snake-Eyes: The Origin Part II," the tragic past of Snake-Eyes unfolds as we learn the truth behind his disfigurement and silence. Storm Shadow confronts his former sword brother, accusing him of murdering their uncle, the Hard Master, and revealing that a stolen arrow was used to frame him. Meanwhile, the G.I. Joe team battles Cobra deep in the Everglades, where Zartan’s decision to bring in the Dreadnoks escalates the conflict.

In "Swampfire!", the G.I. Joes launch a high-stakes assault on Zartan’s Everglades hideout, but the real danger lies elsewhere—while the Baroness travels to Springfield to negotiate with the imprisoned Bludd, Destro and Firefly unleash the deadly Rattler tanksmasher jets in a desperate bid to turn the tide. As the Joes fight back from their W.H.A.L.E. and Dragonfly platforms, the Commander narrowly escapes, leaving Firefly to deal with the aftermath—while Zartan and the Dreadnoks vanish northward, hunting the elusive Pit.
