Going in a darkly realistic direction, I could see a well-loved Joe committing suicide, due to extended PTSD. Or maybe in action in a blue on blue incident. Or perhaps a squad of Joes going down in a chopper crash.
These are the kind of things that really happen IRL, yet would be unexpected in a story arc. I really think IDW could pull it off thoughtfully and appropriately. |

Wadding up a chopper is exactly why I play my green shirts the way I do. Pretty much every sortie out one of my Tomohawks full of guys whos codename we have yet to learn, wads a bird up. |

I would kill Snake Eyes, fighting Storm Shadow in a scene like Retaliation Snake Eyes/Jinx vs. Red Ninja's , temple way in the hills...and killed by Firefly's grenade or missile, cause he stands on the top of one hill and wait for the right moment. Of course, it's dark and rainy :-P |

With almost inhuman grace, Snake Eyes slips aside from yet another sword swipe from the horde of Elite Red Ninja surrounding their Cobra Commander. With his left hand he triggers off his last burst of full auto, decimating their ranks. With his right he avoids the blade looking to clash with his own, and instead slashes through his closest attacker's skull. Dropping him instantly.
There are still dozens of the special guard surrounding the Commander like a protective wall, but Snake Eyes can tell from his stunned silence that it's only a matter of time. The Red Ninja are a formality. The end is finally here. Snake Eyes continues to burn through the lines of the Ninja Guard like dragon's fire. Leaving nothing but corpses and wounded in his wake. Another parry, another deadly strike and he's there. Facing his adversary for the last time. The Commander's armor is said to be invulnerable to both lead and steel. Instead Snake Eyes delivers a devastating punch to the Commander's solar plexus. The force behind that punch should would have killed him had they been fighting man to man. Instead the concussion knocks the Commander to the ground, expelling all his breath in a "whooosh!" Almost instantly, the black clad ninja is on top of the Commander, his blade singing as he strikes again and again at each fold and joint in the armor. He then turns his attention to the connection between the Commander's armor and helmet. Using all his strength the helmet is finally pried off and the Commander's frightened and bewildered face is revealed. Snake Eyes is disappointed to find it is such an ordinary face. Perhaps one he has seen in a crowd a time or two in his life. There are no reptilian features, no face covered with alien eyes as the worst rumors had suggested over the years. Just the face of a man. As Snake Eyes raises his sword to make the final blow, the first arrow tears through the air and the ninja twists to snatch it away. Then there is a second and a third as he turns back to his dirty work. Soon there are dozens sailing across the sky in an arc and spiraling down towards him. Snake Eyes grabs the Commander and whips him up and over his body like a makeshift shield. The arrows hammer into his enemy, some striking off his armor while others pierce his exposed flesh. But there are hundreds of arrows spiraling out of the sky now and these do ultimately find their mark. There is no cry of course as the ninja is first hit, then pinned to the ground like a butterfly. He dies as silently as he lived.

Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow are cutting a path through Cobra Island. The entire island is hit with several nuclear bombs.
Maybe they die... |

I'm imagining a cliffhanger chapter ending that goes something like this: Two Tomahawks full of a dozen well-known Joes each take off to go on an op. There is build up to whatever mission they're going on, and it's clearly going to a long story arc. The Joes on each chopper are shown and named individually, so the reader knows who is on which chopper. As the two choppers approach the LZ, they are lit up from below, as a Cobra flak unit opens up on them. One of the helos evades most of the fire and limps on, but the other gets hit and goes down, crashing in the jungle in a ball of fire. The next scene is of a Cobra Tele Viper reporting back to base "Sitrep follows:We shot down one of two Joe helos. A Viper platoon found the crashed chopper, and found ten Joes KIA in the wreckage. Two were still alive, and have been taken captive. Awaiting further command. Over." To be continued... That way readers know a bunch of Joes they basically cared about died, but don't know which ones. Until the next chapter. |

A sort of Game of Thrones feel to GI Joe would be intense.
