G.I. Joe Season 2 #9

In G.I. Joe Season 2 #9 (2012), Cobra launches a brutal assault on the people of Nanzhao, setting off a chain of high-stakes responses across the globe. As General Hawk faces budget cuts in D.C., the attack forces a sudden shift in strategy, with Scarlett authorizing Snake Eyes’ team for deployment while the Commander and Savane prepare to confront Cobra’s escalating threat. With teams Alpha, Bravo, Delta, and Foxtrot converging near Nanzhao and Storm Shadow striking from the shadows, tensions rise in a story that pushes the Joes to their limits. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Álex Cal with colors by J. Brown and letters by Shawn Lee, the issue’s cover by Dave Wilkins captures the intensity of the moment.
