G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #97

Feb 1990 · Marvel · 1.00 USD; 1.25 CAD; 0.60 GBP
“What Goes Around Comes Around”

In "What Goes Around Comes Around," the G.I. Joe team splits their focus as a mission in Canada uncovers remnants of Terror-Drome, while Snake-Eyes and the Joes await news on Scarlett’s recovery. Meanwhile, Billy and the others arrive on Cobra Island, where Fred VII displays new technology to clients, and a surprising proposal from Raptor to Mindbender sets off a chain of personal reckonings—culminating in the Baroness stepping back from Cobra and Destro choosing love over power, leaving M.A.R.S. behind. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Geof Isherwood, with inks by Randy Emberlin, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Rick Parker, this 1990 issue features a striking cover by Andy Kubert.

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.
