I’ve been slacking in my comic reviews, but when I had a few spare moments this week and wanted to post a review for the IDW Cobra title because it continues to excel and reinvent the G.I. Joe mythology, and manage to do it well. So many fans get so absorbed with the way they view G.I. Joe and how it “should be” I think it’s really refreshing to see someone like Mike Costa rewrite the formula and do it so damned well.

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 OKTOBER GUARD have made the first move, and it’s up to G.I. JOE to stop them! But with the main G.I. JOE forces focused on tracking down SNAKE EYES, it’s all up to FLINT and the covert G.I. JOE squad to step in—and take down the most dangerous threat the team has ever faced!

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!

Snake Eyes & Stormshadow #19

TARGET: SNAKE EYES part four! Is the mission to bring down the Arashikage Clan a matter of national security or a private vendetta for SCARLETT? And, when it comes to a life or death battle with SNAKE EYES, who will walk away? The answers lie here in the most game-changing, controversial G.I. JOE storyline this year!
