G.I. Joe is the code name for America's daring and highly trained special mission force. It's purpose: to defend freedom against COBRA, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world.
This issue: Bred from the genetic material of the world's greatest conquerers, he is programmed for one thing only - world domination. Thought to be dead for years, SERPENTOR is back, and neither G.I. Joe NOR Cobra are safe. This is the evil snake king like you've never seen him before, in one of the biggest G.I. Joe battles of all time. Firefly, B.A.T.s, and the clone kids return in part one of this four issue epic story-arc.
This issue marks the beginning of the end of Josh Blaylock's last run as the regular writer of G.I. Joe
