G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes #2

In this pivotal 2011 issue of G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes, written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Robert Atkins with inks by Juan Castro, color by Simon Gough, and letters by Shawn Lee, Snake Eyes ventures deep into the fortress of Rajahistan, confronting enemy forces with Alpine at his side. As they battle through experimental helicopters and face mounting danger, Alpine is injured, forcing a tense evacuation by Helix and Iceberg—leaving Snake Eyes behind to face capture by the ruthless Khalikhan. The cover, by Agustín Padilla, captures the moment’s intensity, setting the stage for a high-stakes confrontation where Khalikhan promises Slice and Dice a chance to face the silent warrior.
