New episode - Silent Missions Duke

Mark and Tim discuss G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Duke #1 released Wednesday, April 30, 2025, with a special guest appearance from Diana Davis (ARAH Creative Consultant).

Originally recorded as a talking heads video, also available as a more tightly edited audio only version.

Youtube: https://youtu.be/JB29qzu8DmQ

In the standalone silent issue from Wes Craig, Duke treks through Cobra-infested terrain to find his target – a traitor who’s joined the enemy. Can Duke do the unthinkable to complete his mission?

"When the Silent Missions were conceived, Wes Craig was my first call,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Not only is he one of the very best storytellers in comics, it turns out he’s a massive G.I. JOE fan! His Duke issue is a love letter to G.I. JOE, and a fitting finale to this exciting event.”
