Great series! Loved it.
After Jinx’s death last issue, Chuckles is “all in” and has been given an engineering job at a Cobra facility. He’s got much bigger fish to fry though and he’s about to set his plan in motion: he’s going to take Cobra down from the inside. We also get to find out a bit of the details regarding exactly how Cobra intends to enact their world domination scheme as well as the identities of Mr. X and “the Commander”.
To say anything else would be spoiling. This is the big finale and it does not disappoint.
This is some down n’ dirty, gritty storytelling right here and I like it. Anyone expecting a cartoon version of the Village People with high-tech weaponry will be surprised, but there is plenty of stuff to excite and entice the old school Joe fans and it’s all done with a more adult twist. It’s still got crazy technology but it’s written in a more mature, realistic style.
Antonio Fuso’s art is a perfect fit for the story and special mention must also be given to Lovern Kindzierski’s colors, which give the story a perfectly dreadful tone.
This is (as of this writing) only a mini-series. Other than that, no complaints from me.
Cover art to G.I. Joe: Cobra #4
This book is, hands down, the best Joe book on the shelves right now. All due respect to Larry Hama and the story he’s telling in Origins (which is awesome), but G.I. Joe: Cobra knocks my socks off every month and leaves me curled up in the fetal position in a corner, drooling for about an hour and a half. If there is a god, IDW will soon announce that this book will become an ongoing series with the creative team kept intact.
If you haven’t been picking it up monthly, do yourself a favor and buy the trade when it’s released. And then lend it out to your friends; especially the ones who think that G.I. Joe (and/or comic books) is kids stuff. I really can’t say enough good things about it.
What good about this series, no gay ass Flint and his little boy Lady Jaye
