G.I. JOE #8

Following a bit of training within the Pit, the Baroness demands a bit of R&R and some time away from the repetitive drills. Duke, reluctantly agrees on the condition she’s back in 48  hours and that Cover Girl, goes with her. The issue allows for the pair to spend some time together, first on the Baroness’ private jet and later on a cafe in Paris (between which she unsuccessfully attempts to lose the Joe  for some time alone). There’s not much action in the issue, but its memorable with the Joes hunting the Baroness at the beginning of the issue (which plays on the reader’s expectation that the woman will, at some point, go bad), and the two women being attacked by a flock of birds which reintroduces the character of Raptor into the Energon Universe.
