Stories
- Destro Attacks · 22 pages
The Joes figure out that Springfield is a Cobra base and attack in force, only to be repelled by Destro and his men, while the Baroness and the Commander attempt to inject a Cobra agent with Venom's toxin, only to see it fail because it's missing the final catalyst needed to keep it in check. Meanwhile, Snake-eyes, Kwinn and Venom escape from their watery trap only to be captured by Cobra agents.
Publisher’s description
Snake-Eyes, Kwinn, & Dr. Venom attempt to escape from a sunken cobra island bunker. Meanwhile, Destro makes his first full appearance as he plans an ambush in Springfield for the Joes. 25th Anniversary cover by Greg Horn.
