Three stories running through the book: the new G.I. Joe Drug Elimination Force takes on the HeadHunters, the new G.I. Joe Eco-Warriors go after Cesspool, and the Ninja Force battle continues.
Detailed summary
Triptych</big
Bullet-Proof and his team, the Drug Elimination Force (DEF), raid Headman's drug operation. Headman and his Headhunters retaliate by firing at the DEF and fleeing.
During the chase, Fred LXV's wife is killed by Headman. As she dies, Bullet-Proof and Cutter notice that her weapon was built on Cobra Island. Mutt and Shockwave chase Headman and his team into a funhouse where an ambush has been set up.
Flint leads the Eco-Warriors in an assault on a Cobra Toxo-Lab in the Gulf of Mexico. Flint is shot down by a Sludge Viper, but the rest of the Joes manage to surround Cesspool.
Cesspool gains the upper hand by shooting holes in the Plasmatox tanks, which the Eco-Warriors then have to contain. Cesspool captures Flint and Clean-Sweep, but Flint refuses to divulge any information besides his name and serial number.
Snake Eyes holds the Red Master hostage in Trans-Carpathia as Ninja Force faces off against Slice, Dice, and the Red Ninjas. Slice throws a sword, impaling the Red Master and ending the hostage situation.
To avoid further losses, Slice suggests a one-on-one match between himself and Snake Eyes. Although Snake Eyes gains the upper hand, the Red Master returns and reveals his identity to both groups.

Memorable quotes
"El grosso to the max!"
- --And with that, Clean-Sweep delivers the single worst line of dialogue to ever appear in a G.I. Joe comic.
Other Notes
Errors
- On page 2, Mutt and Cutter respond to each other's assignments.
Items of note
- First appearance: Bullet-Proof, Drug Elimination Force.
- Three stories are told concurrently, dividing the pages evenly.
- Each of the stories has a distinctive panel border: normal straight lines for the DEF, wavy "liquid" lines for the Eco-Warriors, and bamboo for Ninja Force.
- Clutch and Rock 'n Roll visited Broca Beach two and a half years ago,[1] but obviously the brainwashing worked[2] if the Joes still don't know its secret.
- A footnote at the end reveals that the D.E.F. and Eco-Warriors stories will end next issue, but the Ninja Force story will be picked up in #126.
Dossiers
- The dossier in this issue features the Brawler.
