G.I. JOE #2

G.I. JOE #2“The Fall of G.I. JOE” continues as the fate of the military organization is discussed in Washington various forces, each working with limited information and at cross-purposes, head into Galibi. As the small force of Flint, Roadblock, Mainframe, and Helix search for the terrorist base of Grigor Rashidov, Tomax learns of the defection of Siren‘s militant son to the group. Complicating matters even further leads Tomax to hire non-Cobra agents, which turns out be Duke, to retrieve the boy through byzantine means providing only the vaguest information about the situation. However, given the fast-approaching JOE hit-squad to the camp had Tomax left the situation alone it would have solved all of his problems.

Choosing his mission, and the life of a boy who he believes is a hostage not a whackjob Cobra believer, over that of his former comrades, Duke warns Rashidov of the arrival of an American hit squad. The ramifications of his actions muddy the waters of the new series even further and might very likely lead to more trouble between the JOEs and their former commander. For fans.
