Stories

  • What Goes Around Comes Around · 22 pages

    As three Joes and the R.C.M.P. uncover Terror-Drome parts in Canada, Snake-Eyes and the other Joes are near Scarlett, whose surgery is successful. Billy and company head to Cobra Island to confront Fred VII (showing new Cobra hardware to clients), and while there Raptor proposes to Mindbender to revive the Commander as a clone, using his dead body. The Baroness decides to leave Cobra for awhile to contemplate on her life after last issue's events, and Destro follows her proclaiming his love for her, as well as giving up being in charge of M.A.R.S. industries for awhile and being a Cobra ally.
