SPECIAL 325th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE!
Two all-new Joes make their FIRST APPEARANCE as Duke and Roadblock lead a dangerous cover op into Borovia.
A New Era For G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO starts here!
“Larry Hama and Chris Mooneyham launched G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #301 at Skybound over two years ago, and for our milestone 325th issue, they’re thrilled to introduce two brand-new Joes—DOWNRANGE and R.C.!” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound.
Below are the variant covers that will be available for G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #325, including a wraparound cover by iconic G.I. JOE artist Rod Whigham and colorist Mike Spicer (TRANSFORMERS)!
“The real battle in warfare is technological and tactical,” said Larry Hama. “Recent advances and innovations have made the ‘old way’ untenable, so I felt compelled to create two new Joes to counter these deficiencies. ‘R.C.,’ file name Hector M. Salazar is the new DRONE OPERATOR. He hails from Boyle Heights in East LA, and he is to unmanned remote-control aircraft and land robotics what Roadblock is to the Ma-Deuce. ‘DOWN RANGE,' file name Hillevi S. Väisänen, is the SCOUT SNIPER. Daughter of a legendary hunting guide from Redwing, MN, it has been said that she can split a Popsicle™ stick at 200 yards with iron sights on a National Match M-21 in 7.62 NATO.”
