Cobra Commander #4 continues to show the badass he is

Cobra Commander #4

Cobra Commander has found a new ally—willing or not—that may just make him unstoppable. Unless, of course, someone is one step ahead of him… Cobra Commander #4 is another fantastic issue of a series that feels like it gets better with each issue.

Joshua Williamson has been knocking it out of the park when it comes to his “pre-G.I.JOE/pre-Cobra” series. Each stand on their own but when read together a bigger world is revealed. Cobra Commander has stumbled upon the Dreadnoks who themselves have stumbled upon Energon. A lot is revealed here as the picture comes in to focus as Cobra Commander discovers some key things and we see the pieces of Cobra form.

But, it’s the betrayals and twists and turns as well as what’s hinted at that really stand out in this issue. We get hints as to Cobra Commander’s background as he deals with Nemesis Enforcer. Statements are made which teases his origin which isn’t quite what’s expected since this series’ debut. Add in a finale which puts the future into focus, you have an entry that’ll make G.I. Joe fans excited for what’s to come.

Andrea Milana‘s art stands out even more than usual. With color by Annalisa Leoni and lettering by Rus Wooton, there’s some amazing visual moments. The series has done a great mix of showing off the organic world of Cobra-La, the dirty world of the Dreadnoks, and now the world of Transformers. It all blends together so well and nothing feels out of place. Even with advanced technology revealed in Cobra Commander #4, it all works well in one world where nothing feels out of place. The art captures the tone of the comic so well. The visuals pop mixing action and humor and again, there’s just some awesome “holy shit” moments.

Cobra Commander #4 is a solid issue that continues to connect the dots and converge the series with Duke. It’s one that’s full of action and surprises and shows off everything the series delivers with each issue and then some. One not to be missed.

Cobra Commander isn’t the only one looking to harness the alien energy source known as Energon. That means he has to either take control of the new organization he’s encountered…or destroy them.”

Cobra Commander #2

Cobra Commander searches for a power greater than any the Earth has ever seen. But when this mission brings him face-to-face with a fan-favorite G.I. Joe faction—will they be friend, foe, or something else entirely? Cobra Commander #2 introduces the Dreadnoks to the Energon Universe!

Cobra Commander #2 is another home run for Skybound‘s Energon Universe. Comprising of G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Void Rivals, the shared universe takes the original concepts and delivers them in new and interesting ways. Written by Joshua Williamson, Cobra Commander #2 gives us a comic focused on Cobra Commander and his mission to find sources of Energon on the surface to benefit Cobra-la… or is it to benefit himself? Williamson teases the scheming Cobra Commander we love but so far is keeping readers guessing as the Cobra we knew is built again in a new way.

But, what makes Cobra Commander #2 really stand out is the introduction of the Dreadnoks. It’s not the full group, only giving us a few members, but this version is a group of arms dealers that seems like it’ll put them into conflict with Cobra Commander as well as Destro in the future. But, the conflict with Cobra Commander is here in this issue as to the two groups trade fire and more.

And all of that is partially what makes Cobra Commander #2 and the series as a whole stand out. It’s brutal at times. People get tortured, dragged behind cars, this isn’t your parents’ G.I. Joe. It’s updated, more adult, and a just more visceral overall.

That gritty look is helped by the art of Andrea Milana who is joined by Annalisa Leoni on color and Rus Wooton on letters. The group gives us characters who look like a lot like the classic ones we knew but a bit updated. The action and battles isn’t dialed back as well giving us enough to say “holy crap, this is a G.I. Joe comic!?”. But Milana is smart about it all, just showing readers enough to get their imaginations running with the torture going on.

Cobra Commander #2 is another fantastic issue that continues to cement the Energon Universe as the best comic universe on the market right now. What Skybound and the creators have done is to give properties that have been around decades a shot in the arm, a hell of a new kick off. This comic is a prefect example of that, mixing in old and new to make long time fans happy, welcome new ones, and keep everyone guessing what will happen next.
