G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #293 continues the current storylines with several of the Joes sneaking into the Cobra Casino on Cobra Island as high rollers. And… that’s about it. Despite being front and center on the cover, we don’t get any movement on a new Serpentor. And, despite Dr. Mindbender spilling his plans about a clone of Snake Eyes (whose various versions feature prominently on one of the comic’s variant covers) under Cobra’s control within in earshot of a Joe, there’s no new movement there either.
Very much a middle issue in the larger arc, there’s not much here you’ll miss if you skip ahead to the next issue as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #293 is really about putting characters in place for what will happen next rather than giving us anything all that memorable this time around.
