Well, not quite “across the web”, but reviews are starting to eek out for G.I. Joe: COBRA #2 which hit comic shops yesterday.
I haven’t had a chance to pick up my copy yet, but if it’s half as good as issue #1 was, I’ll be jumping for joy. A great start, that’s for sure.
ComicsContinuum has posted a “First Look” 5-Page preview of the upcoming G.I. Joe: COBRA #2, which hits local comic shops on Wednesday, April 15th.
Written by Christos Gage and Mike Costa, and with art by Antonio Fuso, the book centers on G.I. Joe undercover agent Chuckles attempting to infiltrate the most secretive terrorist sect known to mankind. Along the way we see some familiar faces and watch Chuckles slow descent into the terrorist underworld. Check out the 5-page preview here.
In my personal opinion, this is the best G.I. Joe book I’ve read from IDW yet, I’m greatly looking forward to Issue #2 next week!
Thanks to “Lucs” from HissTank.com for the info!
Christopher, Chad, Matthew, and Dosser have uploaded the latest episode of their G.I. Joe Review Podcast, focusing on reviewing the Marvel comics and just talking G.I. Joe in general. You can listen to the latest episode via the integrated MP3 player now:

Last week, GeneralsJoes reported about two new IDW listings on Amazon.com, one for Volume 6 of the Marvel reprint Trade Paperbacks, and a listing for the TPB for G.I. Joe: COBRA. At the time, no covers had been posted, but as of now, the covers are posted, though they’re nothing to write home about.
The cover for Volume 6 looks to be the cover from Devils’ Due incarnation of G.I. Joe #1 (once again, art by J Scott Campbell) and unfortunately, it really doesn’t pertain to anything that actually happens in the book. Definitely an odd choice. G.I. Joe: COBRA just features the same image of Chuckles tied to a chair that we’ve seen many times already.
Regardless, if you want to check out the covers, click here for Volume 6 and here for COBRA. Thanks to Jeff Bohn for the intel!
A few different sources have begun posting reviews of the most recent issues of the G.I. Joe comics online… I’m starting to realize there just aren’t enough hours in the day for me to review everything I want to review, so I may have to be more selective. 🙁
Anyway, here’s what we’ve got so far sprinkling around the World Wide Web:
Very interesting reviews…I find it intriguing that the fringe books seem to be getting more positive buzz than the core book itself. It doesn’t seem to be a reflection of Chuck Dixon’s writing (since he’s writing the movie prequel as well) but, whatever the reason, that is the case. I do think that the core series started off somewhat slow, and has continued to crawl pace-wise for all 4 issues. I think something has to start ramping up in that title soon, or it may just get too drawn out. After all, the Marvel series told a very similar story way back in Issue #3, and it only took one issue to tell it. How long do we really need to see Destro’s henchman playing X-Box?
