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!

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!
