G.I. Joe is a line of action figures produced and owned by the toy company Hasbro. Since 1964 to present the G.I. Joe franchise has evolved from action figures with vehicles & playsets to a world-wide phenomenon including movies, animated TV series, comics, books, trading cards, games, clothing, artwork and so much more.

But will the road prove to be too harsh for her to travel? This Issue: After traveling across the country tracking down the Dreadnoks, Zanya and her older boyfriend Kevin finally meet up with the elusive biker gang in Kansas City. To gain admission to the rough and tough gang, fourteen-year-old Zanya must hold her own in a biker brawl while Kevin stands idly by, flirting with danger.

Finally in part #2, Despite her tough heart and quick fists, Zanya can’t seem to help but bend to the will of her man, Kevin. Will she become a weak and damaged monster like her mother, or can Zanya break the cycle? And can she prove to Zartan that she’s really his daughter? Join writer Sean McKeever (Sentinel, Inhumans) and artist Francis Portela (Star Wars Tales) for the finale to this two-part tale chronicling the early years of Zartan’s daughter.

Get out your oven mitts and wooden spoons, ‘cuz it’s time for everyone’s favorite TV cook to take the stage…Roadblock! In this One-Shot story, he slices, he dices, he makes up bad rhymes, and when the funding for his show is taken over by Cobra, he gets more than he asked for. It’s a fun, action packed issue, as the heavy gunner/southern chef takes on TV producers, Dreadnoks and lactose intolerant pugs. Meanwhile, Mainframe finds out what happens when you spend too much time at the computer, and Firewall introduces Daina to the joys of American culture.
