G.I. Joe: Special Missions #2
This second volume of IDW's G.I. Joe: Special Missions series collects issues #5–8 of the 2010 ongoing title. Focusing on smaller, covert operations, the stories feature a rotating cast of Joes—including Beach Head, Chuckles, Flint, Lady Jaye, and Snake Eyes—as they tackle high-risk assignments away from the main battlefield. The collection highlights the espionage and tactical side of the G.I. Joe team, with each mission standing alone while contributing to the broader narrative threads of the era.
In "Ambush," G.I. Joe faces a high-stakes test in Trucial Abysmia when a probationary recruit, Mangler, joins the mission to prove his worth. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and colors by Nel Yomtov, this intense issue explores loyalty and sacrifice as the team fights to survive a deadly ambush. The cover, by Robert Atkins, captures the tension of the moment.
In "Washout," a G.I. Joe team operating in Trucial Abysmia faces a high-stakes test when they bring along probationary recruit Mangler to prove his worth. As the mission unfolds, Mangler’s inexperience is clear, but his choices under pressure reveal a depth of courage that defines his role in the team’s desperate escape.
