G.I. Joe Declassified #3

"Origin Declassified – Part 3" delivers a gripping chapter in the G.I. Joe saga, with Larry Hama’s sharp storytelling and Pat Quinn’s dynamic art bringing the team’s perilous mission in Sierra Gordo to life. As the Joes flee the island where Dr. Burkhart is held, they’re ambushed by Cobra troopers using local civilians as forced labor—only to be saved at the last moment by Shooter, whose sacrifice leaves the team in mourning, unaware of her true role in their first mission. Francis J. Manapul’s striking cover captures the moment’s intensity, while the issue deepens the series’ lore with revelations about Stalker’s past, Flagg’s quiet power plays, and Cobra Commander’s cold calculation.
