I don't really mind if you spoil the story for me, if it can make more interested in reading it. Thanks for your help!

Summary:
Quote
In the Himalayas, Lt. Falcon carries a wounded Dusty to their extraction site, concerned that Nemesis Immortal is still around. They catch only glimpses of him before arriving at the Tomahawk. Nemesis Immortal attacks, but Falcon holds him at bay with a bazooka. In the Tomahawk, Doc sees to Dusty. Falcon decides to go back and stop Nemesis Immortal so that the Tomahawk can take off.
Falcon and Nemesis Immortal battle each other in the flaming ruins until Falcon runs off down the mountain. He finds a weapons cache, throwing a white phosphorous grenade and igniting Nemesis Immortal. Nemesis Immortal retreats to a nearby cave. Falcon equips himself with supplies from the cache and follows in pursuit. He leaves his backpack with the radio's homing beacon on at the mouth of the cave and enters.
Inside the two battle some more before Lift Ticket returns in the Tomahawk. Falcon tells Lift Ticket to use the homing device on the radio to home in a pair of missiles. He fires just as Nemesis Immortal appears, causing a huge explosion.

Notes of Interest
While the events of 1987's G.I. Joe the Movie did not play in the comic, this issue takes its cue from there.

The notes of interest however is kind of what I was looking for.
Now, for those who read it or flipped this book, is this story more of an action story? Does it give some insight on Cobra-La?
Also Hasbro refers to Nemesis Immortal on the back of the package as being "blood sucking"....is this explained anywhere in the comic?

Can't wait to find out what that never told before unknown background for Nemesis Enforcer could be....favorite type of food? Secret wardrobe?

It says on the back of the package "Yes, Larry Hama is back, with all-new stories that give you previously unknown background on favorite characters and never-before-seen details about major stories from the annals of G.I.JOE".

Sucking blood would relate to vampires, which would also help support the "immortal" change from "enforcer". But I've read the comic and didn't pick up on that.

Falcon was badass. 'Nuff said.
What about Nemesis Immortal? Did Mr. Hama give him any dialogue ? Does he have his own moment in this comic book? He's more of a drone in the movie and growls instead of talking...

If I remember correctly, Nems was more like the Alien from the first Alien film than a straight-up character. He was the fear-inducing hunter character that stood between Falcon and survival (nevermind the mission, I mean plain ol' him not dying). Then again, I haven't read it in a while. I can go fish out of the longbox and check it out real quick if you guys want me to!Quote from: "SnakeEyesOnAPlane"Falcon was badass. 'Nuff said.
