G.I. JOE #2
The second issue of the relaunched series gives us the end and aftermath of the Cobra raid on G.I. JOE which turned out to be highly successful (although Cobra may have brought more back than they intended). G.I. JOE #2 gives us plenty of Duke's hotheadedness pushing for one last surge to stop Cobra before end, and, later while receiving treatment, getting into a fight with the newest member of the squad Risk. On the battlefield, Duke's actions earns the respect of his enemies, but will continually going off half-cocked cause trust issue with his friends?
New characters introduced in the series' second issue include Risk, who has a fun interaction with the Baroness, and Cobra Commander's death squad the Valkyries who are sent in to finish the fallen. Also of note is a memory of where Cobra's tech came from, and the first direct Transformers reference in the short series. Whether or not Megatron remains hidden away in that same location or not, the curiosity of Destro may be something the Commander needs to keep an eye on.
