YO JOE Podcast Episode 27 takes you straight into Marvel’s G.I. JOE issues 111–115, an unrelenting Benzheen war arc where plans implode, units die hard, and the cost of every decision hits home. We kick off with issue 111, “Probe and Feint,” breaking down Hawk’s three-pronged operation: Flint’s armored column rolling as a high-profile diversion, Scarlett’s covert ninja recon team slipping behind enemy lines, and Stalker’s support and extraction force tasked with getting everyone out once the trap is sprung.
In issue 112, we cover the brutal ninja clash with the Night Creepers, Faoud’s capture of Flint’s armored group, the comms disruption that tips Cobra off, and Cool Breeze’s desperate stand and death as he tries to save the mission.
Issue 113 only raises the body count: Stalker and Dusty’s unit gets pinned down and cut off, Sneak Peek flashes back to quiet Christmas memories before dying in the sand, and Battle Force 2000 is wiped out in a devastating strike, leaving Dodger as the lone survivor of the team.
Issue 114 brings Metal-Head into the fight as he shreds Joe armor with precision missile fire, we track the loss of multiple vehicles, the sudden halt to the offensive when the Emir’s secret agreement with Cobra kicks in, and the tense Zartan and Billy cliffhanger that hints at a Cobra civil war.
Finally, in issue 115, we follow the damaged recon flight with Ace and Dogfight, Hawk’s growing suspicion that the Emir has cut a deal with Cobra, Ghost Rider and Slipstream’s X-19 stealth mission deep into Benzheen, and the chilling reveal that Cobra is planting Terror Dromes across the country. If you want a front-row seat to one of the Joe team’s harshest campaigns, Episode 27 is your briefing.
