Description
They were supposed to be dead.
In Marvel’s G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Stalker, Snow Job, and Quick Kick are captured and sent to Gulag 23, where survival becomes a daily fight. But while the world believes they are gone, a secret mission is already underway.
Scarlett and Blind Master have been declared dead as part of a dangerous operation to reach Borovia. And when Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and the other Joes finally move in, the prisoners discover that their rescue may be their only chance to survive.
But escaping Gulag 23 won’t be easy.
In this video, we uncover the G.I. Joe Gulag 23 rescue, the secret behind Scarlett and Blind Master’s apparent deaths, Stalker’s imprisonment, and the dramatic reunion with Snake Eyes and the Joes.
If you grew up with G.I. Joe, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Stalker, Scarlett, Snow Job, Quick Kick, and the classic Marvel comics, this is one story you probably never heard told this way.
