☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Silent Interlude," the G.I. Joe team grapples with loss and rebuilding as they work to restore the Pit, only to face a sudden assault by Cobra's new Rattler jet during Flagg's funeral—halted by Duke and Roadblock in a tense aerial showdown. The issue quietly explores grief and duty, from Snake-Eyes' private tribute to Kwinn, to the Baroness' grim journey to Dr. Hundtkinder, and the quiet finality of Dr. Venom's burial in Potter's Field. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Mike Vosburg, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Rick Parker, the cover by Ed Hannigan and Klaus Janson captures the somber weight of the moment.
In "Silent Interlude," Scarlett is taken by Storm Shadow during a routine parachute drop and brought to Destro's Castle as a gift for Cobra Commander. Snake-Eyes, learning of her capture, must infiltrate the fortress in silence, where a shared tattoo on their right forearms reveals a connection between him and Storm Shadow that deepens the tension of the mission.
In "Like Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust...", the G.I. Joes rebuild their base while mourning losses, attending Flagg’s funeral only to be ambushed by Cobra’s new Rattler jet—defeated by Duke and Roadblock. As personal grief settles, Snake-Eyes honors Kwinn with a private ceremony, and Dr. Venom is laid to rest in Potter’s Field, marking a somber chapter in the ongoing war.
In "Moroccan Roll!" from G.I. Joe Comics Magazine #8 (1988), Action Force infiltrates Casablanca on a high-stakes mission to extract Farouk from Cobra’s grasp, only to face betrayal when an undercover agent poisons him—leaving the team scrambling to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
In "Rigged! Part One," Action Force launches a daring raid on a Cobra-occupied oil rig in the North Sea, relying on intel from Farouk—but when they secure the site, the unexpected arrival of Destro shatters their mission. Claiming the rig as his own, Destro turns the tables, accusing the team of piracy and forcing them to confront a twist neither expected.
In "Rigged! Part Two," Action Force finds themselves trapped and disgraced after being framed by Destro, their reputation in tatters thanks to a media backlash. With no allies in sight, it's Quick Kick who takes matters into his own hands, orchestrating a daring rescue to pull the team from captivity.
In "The Man in the Silver Mask!" from G.I. Joe Comics Magazine #8 (1988), Destro meets with Farouk in Casablanca, where the truth about Farouk’s role as a key operative in Destro’s M.A.R.S. network is revealed. The two discuss the global reach of their Silversmile brand and the fallout from recent events that have damaged Action Force’s reputation.
