G.I. Joe: The Complete Collection #8

In "Into the Breach," Hawk’s team races to extract the American Ambassador from the collapsing chaos of Sierra Gordo, while Destro secretly aids the anti-Villavaca rebels by targeting the Terror-Dromes. As Zarana, Thrasher, and Monkeywrench flee one of the Dromes and reach the airport, they force Wild Bill, Crazylegs, and Maverick to take off with refugees—only for the plane to be hit on takeoff and begin losing power. With help from Destro’s covert signal, Hawk’s team escapes through the rebel network, just as the country teeters toward total collapse.

In "Fair Trade," two stranded G.I. Joe teams navigate the treacherous terrain of Sierra Gordo, evading N.A.B.M.-controlled forces while trying to escape. With Hawk's group receiving unexpected aid from Destro—whose motives remain unclear—and another team struggling through the jungle with refugees and Dreadnoks in tow, the line between ally and enemy blurs in the heat of survival.

In "Bailout," the Joes and Dreadnoks find themselves united in a desperate bid to escape Sierra Gordo, where El Jefe’s fight to reclaim his nation from the N.A.B.M. reaches a volatile climax. With General Villavaca’s grip slipping and chaos spreading, a final, dangerous flight becomes the only way out—leading to a tense showdown in the skies as old enemies clash over a stolen seaplane and a fleeing traitor.

In "Stiletto," Star-Viper strikes deep into The Pit III, stealing a high-tech black box capable of intercepting every U.S. spy satellite signal, setting off a chain of tension across both G.I. Joe and Cobra lines. As new Joes join the ranks, the shadows of betrayal grow longer—Fred and Baroness hide a secret romance on Cobra Island, while Minh endures isolation after his boat’s destruction, and Croc Master patrols with cold precision.

In "Divided We Fall," the fractured remnants of Cobra Island erupt into civil war as Serpentor and Fred lead opposing factions, each claiming control of the island's volatile heart. With Serpentor's forces on the brink, Mindbender is dispatched on a desperate mission, carrying the stolen super black box as a fragile peace offering. As the G.I. Joes infiltrate the island in a stolen Mamba chopper, they find themselves caught between rival warlords—Minh, driven by personal vengeance over his lost boat, and Destro, who waits offshore, ready to strike.

In "Alliance of Convenience," the escalating chaos of the Cobra Island Civil War pulls the G.I. Joes deeper into the fray, thanks to Mindbender’s meddling and Destro’s sudden invasion. With Hawk captured by Fred and the Dreadnoks aboard the Thunder machine at the airport, and Minh now firmly on the team, the Joes must navigate shifting loyalties and a battlefield where every alliance is a gamble.

In "Washout," a G.I. Joe team operating in Trucial Abysmia faces a test when they bring along Mangler, a probationary member whose inexperience puts the mission at risk. As tensions rise and the situation turns deadly, Mangler’s choices force the team to confront what it truly means to be a Joe.

In "Holding Actions!", Destro launches a bold new offensive from the Cobra Island airport, carving out his own stronghold amid the escalating civil war, while the G.I. Joes remain locked in their precarious alliance with Serpentor’s forces. With Hawk finally freed from Fred VII’s faction, the balance of power shifts—just as the next move could tip the entire island into chaos.

In "All's Fair," the final clash on Cobra Island reaches its climax as Serpentor falls to an arrow from Zartan’s bow, marking the end of a brutal civil war. With Mindbender striking a deal that names Fred the new leader of Cobra, the Joes must retreat—leaving the island behind as Destro reunites with the Baroness, choosing peace over battle.
