GeneralsJoes Reviews IDW G.I. Joe: Cobra #5
The initial four issue limited series for G.I. Joe: Cobra was a critical and fan raving success. Praise was heaped upon the book for its dark undertones, the “film noir” art and the dark and gritty realism injected into every single panel and every single page. I was one of those who was a devout fan.
The single issue special featuring the Twins only helped build up the mystique…an amazingly well crafted exodus telling the story of Tomax and Xamot, totally able to separate them from their somewhat goofy Sunbow personalities into mysterious, dangerous, deadly foes for the G.I. Joe team.
When IDW announced that Cobra was going to shift to an ongoing series, I was excited…but also a bit trepidacious. After all, this was a very unique feel…could they actually keep this up, month to month?
Well, Issue #5 hits shelves today…the first step towards the ongoing series. Introducing Serpentor, how did Cobra fare in it’s first foray into a regular rotation? Click the “read the rest of this story below” to find out for yourself.
