Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading games, IP and toy company Hasbro, announced G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #321, a special silent issue of the smash hit series from legendary series writer Larry Hama (Marvel’s Wolverine) and artist Chris Mooneyham (Nightwing, Sgt. Rock and the Unknown Soldier).
Featuring covers by the incomparable Andy Kubert (Marvel’s X-Men), a new chapter of the iconic series arrives in comic book shops on October 8, 2025.
The face of comic books changed forever when G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21 introduced fans to the “Silent Interlude,” an action-packed story with no dialogue.
Now, Larry Hama and Chris Mooneyham present a new silent issue no G.I. Joe fan can miss as Snake-Eyes and Dawn must defend The Pit from an unexpected attack!
“This is another all-silent issue featuring the return of the sound-weaponizing characters introduced in GI JOE ORIGINS #19,” said Larry Hama. “They have developed an air-portable version of their sonic weapon and have mounted it in a stealth dirigible to attack the GI Joe installation under Camp Greer in the Utah desert. Snake-Eyes and Dawn Moreno having been at the sound-proof range in the lowest level of the Pit, are the only Joes unaffected, and must attack the airship by themselves.”
“I’m honored to have been chosen to lend my voice to this series, and this special issue, in particular,” said Chris Mooneyham. “Deconstructing Larry’s vision is always a challenge, and a thrill, and #321 is no exception. I hope our efforts on this title continue to keep ARAH fans coming back for more.”
In addition to the main cover by Kubert and colorist Laura Martin, issue #321 will also feature an open-to-order variant cover with a black and white version of Kubert’s main cover, the kickoff of a new “Gears of Joe” 1:10 incentive cover series by Steve Beach, and an open-to-order cover by Chris Mooneyham.
“300 issues after the historic G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21, Larry Hama has done it again,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Joined by the astounding Chris Mooneyham, Hama has captured the magic of the original Silent Interlude with a fresh new spin for a new generation.”
G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero is a cornerstone of the historic collaboration between Skybound and Hasbro, alongside the shared Energon Universe that features ongoing series Void Rivals by Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead) and artist Conor Hughes (White Ash, The Game), TRANSFORMERS by writer Daniel Warren Johnson and artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest), and G.I. JOE by writer Joshua Williamson (Superman, Dark Ride) and artist Andrea Milana (Cobra Commander).
“G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero bears many of the hallmarks of Larry Hama’s long and beloved run on the comic: unlikely odds, ninja action, and military tech jargon. Thanks to Chris Mooneyhan and Francesco Segala, it has some sublime storytelling and some of the moodiest colors in comics too.” – ComicBook.com
