G.I. Joe # 15 Cover A First Printing 2025 BN

G.I. Joe #15, released on December 3, 2025, serves as the midpoint (Part 3 of 5) of the "Dreadnok War" story arc. This issue is noted for shifting away from the high-octane action of previous chapters to focus on critical character development and the first unmasked interaction between Duke and Cobra Commander. 

Plot Summary: "Dreadnok War" Part 3 

While the overall pace slows down, the issue contains several major lore reveals and pivotal character shifts. 

• Captured by Road Pig: After their desert pursuit, Duke and Cobra Commander are captured by the monstrous Road Pig, who chains them in his attic.
• The Unmasking and Motives: While captive, the two leaders engage in a deep conversation. Cobra Commander reveals his face (partially obscured in shadows) and explains his ultimate goal: to transcend his own "fragile" humanity and become something more than mortal, motivated by his hatred for his own physical form.
• Dreadnok Reinforcements: Ripper and Buzzer arrive at Road Pig's property. After a brief confrontation, they realize they have common goals and Road Pig officially joins the Dreadnok gang.
• The Shadow Diplomacy: General Hawk detours from his official mission to meet with Destro. Destro, seeking to consolidate his power after his coup, offers a surprising deal: providing G.I. Joe with Cobra’s advanced weaponry to help them fight the growing Transformer threat.
• Rescue Mission: Back at Joe headquarters, Clutch and Cover Girl realize Duke is missing and begin preparing a rogue rescue mission to find him.
