IDW reveals new Cobra Commander in USA Today interview!

Posted on by

IDW’s G.I. Joe comic franchise took a pretty dramatic turn last year when, in Cobra #12, Joe agent Chuckles ended Cobra Commander’s leadership with a rifle slug.  Now,  nearly one chronological year later, the new Commander will be revealed in G.I. Joe vol 2 #8, which hits stands tomorrow.  It even features a “scratch off cover

If you want to be spoiled as to who the new Commander is, check out this interview at USAToday.com.

You’ve been warned… the article pretty much spills the beans.

What isn’t so spoilery is that the new Commander’s look is also revealed and it’s a pretty dramatic change.  In fact, it’s also hauntingly familiar to fans of Sigma 6.

Check out the “Commander’s new robes” below and check out G.I. Joe #8 on shelves tomorrow!  (Until then, there’s a preview on Scribd.com.)

80sTees.com

It’s ironic that Mark Foster shared this with me today as I’d just been pondering what do dress up as for Halloween this year. 80sTees.com has dropped the price on their classic hooded Cobra Commander costume to a whopping $9.99! That’s right, for $50.01 less than previously offered you can done the cowl and mantle of the greatest criminal mastermind our world has ever seen.

Feel like putting your face on the moon?  Toss this costume on and it becomes that much closer to reality!  Want to control an army of cloned dinosaurs?  This is the attire for you!

What are you waiting for– an invitation hand-delivered by the Springfield High School marching Vipers?  Order one and be the envy of all of those poor saps that dress up as Twilight characters this year because their girl friends made them!

G.I. Joe comics this week from IDW – Cobra Civil War #0

Posted on by

It looks like it’s time to start reading the Cobra Civil War.   IDW has this to say about Cobra Civil War #0

IDW's G.I. Joe: Cobra Civil War #0

Cobra Civil War #0

G.I. JOE: Cobra Civil War #0
Chuck Dixon, Mike Costa (w) • Javier Saltares, Antonio Fuso, Agustin Padilla (a) • Tom Feister, Fuso, Gabriele Dell’Otto  (c)

COBRA CIVIL WAR BEGINS HERE! The Commander is dead! Long live… Cobra Commander?! But the questions is, who will BE the NEXT Cobra Commander?! The role of Commander must be filled—now the most lethal and cunning Cobra operatives will COMPETE TO REIGN SUPREME. The winner—he who kills the most G.I. JOES—will take the reins of COBRA! Bonus: Ninja Force!!!!! Yeah, baby! 30 big pages of story at regular price! This is the place to jump on board and see what everyone’s been talking about!
*3 regular covers will be shipped in a 1-to-1-to-1 basis
FC • 40 pages • $3.99

The hunt for the new Cobra Commander will run through all three new G.I. Joe series beginning with next month’s three debuts: G.I. Joe #1, Cobra #1, and Snake Eyes #1!

 

 

I have mixed feelings about this event.  While it is bound to make for some interesting reading, I feel that it happened almost a bit too quickly.  We had only just began to get a real glimpse of the current IDW Commander- less used-car salesman and pyramid scheme manager and more of a classic James Bond shadow leader– when he was assassinated by Chuckles in the now infamous single panel kill shot.  I’ve enjoyed IDW’s run on G.I. Joe so far when it has strayed into new territory so I’m still along for the ride.  Still… I think this event might have had more impact if readers had been exposed to the now-deceased Commander just a bit more.
