Background In Issue 35, the Dreadnoks took Zartan’s motorcycle on a joy ride, while Clutch, Breaker, and Rock ‘N Roll were enjoying time on leave before the two groups met.

Background In Issue 32, the aftermath of the battle near Snake-Eyes’ cabin was brought to a conclusion. One of the earliest Crimson Guardsmen, Fred did not make it.

Background In Issue 31, we were left with a cliffhanger. Snake-Eyes cabin was blown up with Timber and the main man inside! Just outside, but well within the blast zone are Destro, Firefly, and a Crimson Guardsman named Fred Broca. Spirit and Airborne from the Joes are there as well.

Background At the end of the 2 part Origin of Snake-Eyes issues, Zartan, the Baroness, Destro, Cobra Commander, Firefly and Wild Weasel are all in pursuit of the Joe recon team who has given them the slip.

Zartan was frustrated and said it was time to call in the Dreadnoks. The tease for Issue 28 on the last page of 27 was “Enter the Tank-Smashers.” On to the issue…

Background Snake-Eyes has been shrouded in mystery since the first issue. Issue 26 is the first part of this origin story. Please make sure to read that one first. In addition to the Snake-Eyes origin story, the ongoing covert actions in the Florida swamps near Zartan’s cabin continues. Issue 25 (“Zartan!”) ended with Junkyard coming right to the cabin door. Zartan was brandishing his pistol and was about to put the “stray” out of its misery. Issue 26 ended with Junkyard leading the Cobras into a pit of quicksand. On…

During the issue, Major Bludd revealed to Destro and the Baroness that he hid a transmitter in the handle of Storm Shadow’s sword. They were planning to track where Storm Shadow had gone to try and rescue the Commander.
