G.I. Joe: Origins #1
G.I. Joe: Origins #1, written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Mike Hawthorne and Tom Feister, kicks off with a high-stakes drop: Scarlett and Duke are parachuted into a mission with only 24 hours to complete it. Picked up by Connie, they race to a hospital’s burn unit—where they find Snake Eyes, the sole survivor of a brutal attack. As the ATF and Army C.I.D. close in on a faceless killer with a deadly past, the trio must flee for their lives. The cover by Andrea DiVito captures the tension perfectly.

Scarlett and Duke are thrown out of a plane, and given 24 hours to complete an unknown mission. They are picked up by Connie, who helps them determine that they need to go to the burn unit at the hospital. They find a burn victim: Snake Eyes. The ATF and Army C.I.D both try to apprehend a man. He killed his family, and blew up the plastic surgery center where he got a new face, so no one knows what he looks like. He heads to the hospital to try to kill Snake Eyes, who is the only survivor. Connie is killed, but Duke, Scarlett, and Snake escape.
