G.I. Joe: Frontline #2

The gleaming, battle-scarred face of a metallic villain dominates this striking Dave Dorman cover, his glowing green eyes fixed forward with unsettling intensity — while reflected on his polished skull, two smaller figures, a soldier and a red-haired woman, suggest a mission already in motion. Larry Hama returns to the G.I. Joe universe with "The Mission That Never Was Part 2: Two If by Sea," brought to life interiorly by the artistic team of Dan Jurgens and inker Bob Layton. This 2002 Image Comics entry in the Frontline series delivers the kind of tension-loaded setup that fans of the franchise will find hard to put down.
