Published by Devil's Due, GI Joe America's Elite's first 19 issues were written by Joe Casey starting in 2005. Issues #19-20 were written by Mike O'Sullivan, who was also the editor for the entire series. Starting with issue #21, Mark Powers, a former editor of GI Joe Volume 2, finished the series. Issues #25-36 were a twelve part story titled World War III. And at the end (July, 2008) wrapped up over 25 years of the GI Joe continuity that was started in 1982 by Larry Hama. Some fans were excited for the pending relaunch and others were angry at the possibility of changing what we all grew to know and love. G.I Joe will live on the by this point in time the relaunch is very much underway.
For right now, enjoy the covers and interior work of the last arch of the Hama era. |

Storm Shadow, Gen. Colton & Duke interrogate the captured Baroness. The search for the reason or person behind the crashing satellites leads the Joe team to the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, where they discover a connection to M.A.R.S. Hawk is upset about the crashing satellites and is positive that Cobra Commander is behind the plots. Hawk demands that Duke go find out where Cobra Commander is at.

Destro plays both angles of GI Joe & Vance Wingfield. Meanwhile in Chicago, Snake-Eyes tracks down and confronts Firefly in the middle of a gang war. The Joe team has begun to figure out how the crashing satellites are being controlled and begin to act to save the United States.

Gen. Colton, Stalker, Roadblock, Shipwreck, Flint & Storm Shadow are retrofitting radar antennas in New Mexico to detect where the next crashing satellite will come from. Firewall has rejoined the team for this mission. A group of Destro's flying robotic Iron Grenadiers attack the antennas. As the Joes defend the antennas, Vance Wingfield begins his process to crash another satellite. The Joes are able to prevent Wingfield from being successful and at the same time have been able to track him. Finally, Duke is on a boat somewhere in the Amazon following a mysterious lead.

After defeating Vance Wingfield, the Joe team does a little regrouping, Snake-Eyes discovers where Scarlett is, Flint visits Lady Jaye's grave site, Shipwreck gets some leave time, Stalker & Roadblock visit Hawk and Duke continues his mysterious mission in South America. How the Baroness survived the Night Raven explosion on Cobra Island is shown.
Stalker & Storm Shadow, on orders by Gen. Colton, sneak into the abandoned Dreadnoks base in the Florida Everglades. Zandar attacks and is able to shoot Stalker with a poison arrow, just before capturing them. Zartan, Zarana, Zanya and several Dreadnoks make there return to the base looking for some unknown item. A brief history of Zartan and his sibling's story is told. *Double issue |

The Joe Team, unofficially on a mission to rescue Scarlett, sneaks into Destro's command submarine. Eventually they fight many of Destro's Iron Grenadier troops, rescue Scarlett, fight with Wraith, shoot Destro's son and make Destro so mad that he scuttles the submarine. Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow are trapped in a flooded section of the submarine with only Storm Shadow making it to safety.

The Joes have returned with Destro's captured submarine and Snake-Eyes' body. There still remains some hope that Snake-Eyes is in the Sleeping Phoenix. Kamakura returns to see his Master, Scarlett is completely heart broken and the rest of Joes argue amongst themselves.
