As Mainframe and Scarlett slip through a hidden tunnel linked to Mindbender’s past, the team’s scattered members converge in a tense underground showdown—just as Mindbender uncovers a mysterious element that bends time. With Duke preparing to leave the base amid a growing flash mob and the Baroness relaying secrets to a military contact, the Joes must regroup and face the next phase of the crisis, all while the abandoned Baxter facility becomes a stage for chaos. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Will Rosado with colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr., the issue’s cover by Tommy Lee Edwards captures the intensity of the moment.
