G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero - Silent Missions (Beach Head)
Honoring the original “Silent Interlude” issue from G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21 from 1984, Image and Skybound are putting together a series of silent issue one-shots featuring different characters. While I didn't enjoy it as much as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero - Jinx #1, this one-off issue featuring a wounded Beach Head crashing down in a DMZ and being helped by a local woman and her child who he in turn helps with Cobra comes for him, has some nice moments by working around the need for foreign dialogue in an issue without any dialogue and then saving most of the action until the end with the Joe fighting to hold out long enough for his friends to arrive.
While I wouldn't characterize Beach Head as the yappy sort, I do think the style of these issues fits the ninja (or ninja-adjacent) characters a bit better. That said, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero - Beach Head #1 for G.I. JOE will still supply fun for fans.
