What to expect from Skybound’s Cobra Commander series
Cobra Commander is the second of four G.I. Joe limited series coming down the pipeline as part of the Energon Universe — following Duke, which launches this month. These titles “promise to set the stage for a fresh new take on G.I. JOE, Cobra and the iconic characters that you only think you know in a shared universe with TRANSFORMERS and Void Rivals!”
An official synopsis for Cobra Commander reads as follows: “The Cobra threat begins HERE. In a world where Cobra doesn’t exist, one man’s sinister plans to utilize the mysterious alien substance known as Energon will send shockwaves across the globe. Who is Cobra Commander? Where does he come from? And what horrors is he planning to unleash that will rock the world — and maybe the universe — to its core?”
Cobra Commander #1 goes on sale January 17, 2024 from Image Comics.
