I'm not sure about the Cobra Series news. I'm kind of worried that they're rushing to introduce all these characters in. I think they kind of got spoiled and it's alot harder now to maintain the same level of stories and not fall into a rut and just keep doing the same thing over and over.
Also worried that introducing Serpentor too soon. We've just barely gotten introduced to Cobra and Cobra Commander. The Joes haven't even had a major encounter with them yet. And already bringing Serpentor into the mix?
It'll all depend on how he's handled. But I'm not too thrilled just yet.
Also worried that Gage/Costas won't be able to maintain the same level of stories that they did with Cobra I and the Special, with it becoming an ongoing.
So far they're introducing character after character and seem to be going for the shock introduction (Croc Master),
Also worried about how this will affect the main comic. Shouldn't some of these concepts be introduced in the main comic?
I don't now. Cautiously optimistic would describe my feelings.
I keep seeing Crossgen and early Image. First things that popped into my head. Crossgen had great foundation and then success made them reach too fast and too far. The same with Image. Lots of small publishers have been brought down by the reaching too fast and too far. They get popular and then just go crazy.
I can't say you didn't shape that opinion for a real life Serpentor. My verse Serpentor is a Clone, using Tech Cobra Stole from the Star Wars Clones. And he has basically a few brother clones. The younger ones in custody; Hannibal; Venomous Maximus (A failed clone) and Lobot Serpentor(I took an extra Serpentor head and put in on Comic pack Destro. He looks like Lobot)
But I see how IDW is crancking out so many titles they may run out of steam and old stories to retell. Plus like you guys are saying all the introduction of Characters. Still many of the old fans want to hurry up and see their favorites. From my fanboy perspective, since I'm not a comic critic, I love just seeing characters. Can you imagine if they had to follow a toy introduction timeline?
Does anyone know if they will be making figures from IDW anytime soon?

Join Cobra and see the World. Just not your normal garden spots.
Tired of having somebody looking over your shoulder. Join Cobra and we will watch your back. As well as your every move.
Join Cobra and you will have no regrets. Even if you did,you are with us for life,however long that will be.
I like these BCross I was hoping to come up with something like the Cobra Creed or Cobra Pledge. I got nothing.

Hellboy is probably the best known Dark Horse-affiliated property, but he's never starred in an on-going series, just a bunch of mini-series. I like that type of release schedule since the creative team is under no pressure to keep churning out story after story, month after month. With Hellboy, Mignola releases a mini-series only when he has a story that he feels is worth telling, so it's "all killer and no filler." The quality of the Hellboy mini-series is such that the trades continue to be top-sellers years after their initial publication.
I feel like before long they are going to saturate the Joe comic Market with all these ongoing titles. I think why Cobra I and Cobra Special and even Origins, those were all designed with having a conclusion to the story however open ended they left it. We'll see.
