Joe team and their unlikely temporary allies, the Dreadnoks, alongside local refugees, as they attempt to flee the war-torn country.
• The Cover Art Scene: The visual depicts a high-stakes moment inside a stolen seaplane. The punk-styled Dreadnok Zarana and the G.I. Joe helicopter pilot Wild Bill are trying to rescue someone dangling precariously outside the open hatch.
