Stories

  • Dreadnoks Rule! · 22 pages

    In New Jersey, the Joes begin surveillance on the Dreadnoks after they had landed at the Cobra Consulate in New York. In between, the Joes surveillance has been scratched at the consulate after a Tele-Viper discovers a hidden bug on one of their satellites at the consulate. The Joes confront the Dreadnoks minus Zartan, Zarana, and Zandar (busy elsewhere at a hotel working one of Cobra's real estate scams) after the Dreadnoks steal a case containing anti-tank missiles from a military convoy, and Junkyard is injured in the process.
