G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes #5

In G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes #5 (2011), written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Alberto Muriel with inks by Juan Castro, colors by Esther Sanz, and letters by Neil Uyetake, Snake Eyes and Helix track down the pharmaceutical executive behind the virus ravaging Kariba. As U.N. forces struggle to contain the outbreak with rubber bullets and airstrikes, Vargas revels in the chaos he orchestrated—while Iceberg meets with Alpine, who’s been given new prosthetic legs. Duke’s decision to join Snake Eyes and Lighthorse in a dangerous mission to find a cure, despite Doc’s growing doubts, sets a tense course forward. The cover, by Robert Atkins, captures the grim urgency of the moment.
