For a few years now Mike Costa has been turning the world of G.I. Joe and Cobra on its ear and it’s now hard to remember a time when his masterful work wasn’t reshaping the world of the Real American Hero. Cobra #19 hits comic shops on Wednesday as the current iteration of the title roars to its conclusion in preparation for the (re)launch of the title as the Cobra Files in early 2013.

The Target: Snake Eyes event continues, which looks to wrap up the current iteration of the IDW G.I. Joe edition until 2013. There will likely be a final wrap up, but somewhat ominously, when new writer Fred Van Lente was asked where Snake Eyes was in the next step of IDW’s G.I. Joe evolution, he simply said “Read Snake Eyes’ book“.
So, what do you think, kids? Something drastic coming? Check out the preview below as we hurdle closer to a potential universe-defining event in Target: Snake Eyes!
