The two big reveals to come out of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #305 is that Serpentor Khan has already double-crossed Revanche and that the Zartan who Destro and the Baroness have been talking with is not the real Zartan. The combination of the mutated Cobra faction and Revanche makes for a formidable force. The question of how the Joes would take them down seems to have answered itself with the new Serpentor’s actions taking an important step for them which will no doubt lead to the two factions turning on each other and likely their defeat.
I didn’t see the Zartan swerve coming, but I’m also not sure exactly where its intended to lead these characters. What do Destro and the Baroness possess that is worth this subterfuge? As for the Joes, the successfully rebuff the small squad of mutated Cobra soldiers attempting entry into the Pit. Nice short action here with appearances by the likes of Lady Jaye, Stalker, and Spirit.
