I have not reviewed Cobra in a little while. I was a bit put off an issue or two ago when it read as a further extension to the GI Joe book instead of focusing on the strengths that Cobra has had over any other GI Joe related book…EVER. That was the psychological thriller stuffed inside a Bourne Identity film and applied to both Cobra and Joe characters. Thankfully, that is all back and this issue escalates everything that has been happening since issue #1.
As Serpenter, Tomax, and Major Bludd plot to overthrow the new Cobra Commander the Commander himself has dispatched the Baroness to eliminate those “stock holders” within the Cobra structure. When the new Commander took over he did not just declare a change in power structure within the Cobra organization, he has shown everyone in the last handful of issues how he is accomplishing this. Ronin, a Joe operative, confronts the Baroness and barely survivies.
Serpenter has seemingly set up both Tomax and Major Bludd. Both disappear though Bludd’s “defection” has a bit of a comedic moment I rather enjoyed. One thing is made clear and continues to be a focal point in this series: Cobra Commander is not a man to be trifled with. He is hardcore and surprises everyone. (Still wish it had been Chuckles.)
