Synopsis
The Cobra Island Civil War begins with two groups: one led by Serpentor, the other by Fred. Mindbender is sent by Serpentor to get help (using the super black box as a diplomatic offering stolen by the Star-Viper last issue) after his contingent, using the landlocked freighter as a base is losing. The Joes are sent in to do manual recon using a stolen Mamba chopper, and as they arrive, Minh awaits their arrival, swearing they won't get Fred, since Fred is his alone in vengeance for his losing his boat, as nearby at sea Destro plans to make his move to invade Cobra Island.
