G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes #1

G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes #1 (2011) kicks off a tense mission when Snake Eyes, Helix, Alpine, and Iceberg track down a lead on Khalikhan, the rogue operative responsible for killing six Joes. Camped atop the remote Xixabanga mountain, the team uses a Cobra base’s unexpected visit as cover to infiltrate from within. Flashbacks reveal the groundwork laid by Snake Eyes, Scarlett, and Mainframe, setting the stage for the operation. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Robert Atkins, Agustín Padilla, and Juan Castro, with colors by Simon Gough and letters by Shawn Lee, the issue’s cover by Zach Howard captures the mission’s shadowed intensity.
