I ran a bit behind last week getting the IDW reviews posted, but I don’t intend to make that mistake this week, especially as Cobra Command continues on and we finally get at least a little bit of interaction between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
I’m the last person to complain about a lack of ninja conflict within the G.I. Joe universe, but IDW has really been dragging out the whole Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow dynamic. Apparently they’re moving closer to a resolution here as Snake Eyes wades neck deep into Red Ninja territory.

The initial run of Infestation was something I wasn’t real sure about. I know there are plenty of zombie fans out there, but I’m not necessarily one of them, and I was kind of struggling to see how they would fit a zombie story into a more “real world” G.I. Joe element. Granted, recent figures like Zombie-Viper have opened that door even more, but you get the impression that the Zombie-Viper isn’t a TRUE zombie necessarily, more of a Cobra experiment.
Now, the sequel to Infestation, instead of dealing with zombies, goes even more into the horror/supernatural elements by tackling Lovecraft and the Lovecraftian monsters that seem to have such a following. Now how in the heck could this possibly tie into the G.I. Joe universe?
Comic Book Resources spoke with Infestation 2 writer Mike Raicht to get some details, and you can check out the interview right here.
It’s a very thorough and illuminating discussion and I found myself actually interested in seeing how this all ties together. It certainly doesn’t hurt that Raicht throws some cameos to Cobra characters Cesspool and Razorclaw (!!) in the preview pages in the interview.
Definitely curious to see how this ends up. Click here to read the full interview, and thanks to The Terror Drome for the intel.

Cobra Command continues here!
As mentioned in the Real American Hero #175 review, toy and Super Bowl news overshadowed my focus on the comics universe, but I’m trying to change that this week, especially because the Cobra Command storyline is hitting it on all cylinders.

I know I’m dragging a little late with this particular review, but with all of the toy news and the intel about the Super Bowl TV spot I hadn’t really had time to make it happen. Well, I’m rectifying that this morning!
