Perhaps it is… Phil Kost from JoeReloaded.com has passed the word along that he’s working in conjunction with IDW on a little “Guess the Character” thread with some great looking concept art for a never seen before character (in the new IDW universe, anyway). It seems to pretty obviously be Cobra Commander, though with a very different look.
The full art can be found over on JoeReloaded. Not sure of my thoughts on this one. I like that they carry over the mirrored helmet. I like the fangs and the lower support, but it almost seems too “bald” up top. That 3-piece suit is a bit of a strange choice, too, but we’ll see what scenario he makes his appearence in, perhaps it’ll make more sense. I’m sure he’ll have more than one “look” as well.
Thanks to Phil for the heads up!
Looks good. I like this look for him.
It’s different, but I like it.
Finally.
All of his other looks in the comics are completely military, and while that may have been good for those era books, I think it’ll be a good turn to see a presence of the Commander at fundraisers, parties, weddings and other civie events without a hairdryer on his back , a battle helmet, or a sword and pistol at his side. It’s got charisma, that’s what it’s got.
Looks like he’s got some swagger… I like it.
I think it’s the Spider-Man villain “The Chameleon”.
bah itz serpentor damn it. look at the chin fangs. you’re all mad. hahahahahahahaha.
Man, that’s pretty slick! Ya know, save for the fangs on the chin. Dunno what’s up with that. Otherwise, it’s cool to see the every-so-often dressy side to the ‘ol Commander.
I don’t know what you guys are seeing. I see a Dinner Party Track Viper.
It’s the perfect marriage of movie CC and classic CC. I like it, if mainly as his “corporate” look. He needs to have a battle suit, too, but if they’re writing him like they are the Crimson Twins, I get the feeling that CC is above getting his hands dirty at this point in the game.
Lol. Dinner Party Viper. I love it.
-I don’t know what you guys are seeing. I see a Dinner Party Track Viper.-
That’s hillarious.
Personally he looks like Euro-trash CC to me. (no offense to Europeans of course :/ )
Oh man I TOTALLY want a Dinner Party Track Viper.
(Heck, I just want a new Track Viper…)
He requires a few things. A highback Victorian chair, a fireplace, a pipe, and a white fuzzy kitty. Once he has those as accessories, it will be the best Cobra Commander, EVER.
Even with those things lacking, I totally dig this. It’s a nice look, and nice nod to the original. I’m not a hard sell on re-imagining of characters, but even still, it looks sharp.
BILLY?
i didnt read the RELOADED books so i dont know if hes alive
Serpentor is WAY TO VAIN to hide his face
