The globe hopping action of "World War III" begins shortly after the end of the "Sins of the Mother" storyline, which concluded in "America's Elite" #24. "Not much time has passed; as hinted at the end of #24, everything that's happened recently has been part of a far grander scheme on Cobra Commander's part," Powers explained. "Now, at long last, he's got everything he needs to move on to the next stage of that plan. Events around the world will cause a swift deterioration, a spike in violence and conflict, and lead to something we never thought could happen..."
"World War III" is the culmination of both Cobra Commander's grand scheme and Devil's Due's master plan for the character. "'America's Elite' as a whole has been a fairly short amount of story time. But in publishing time, we've taken the last two plus years to really build Cobra Commander and Cobra back up. Having them gone for a while was intentional. Having CC come back gradually was intentional. Having Cobra appear in a clandestine method when they finally showed up was intentional. Now, people are going to see what we've been working toward... It truly has been part of a big plan, people! The payoff starts now!"
When "World War III" concludes one side will emerge victorious, but a heavy toll will have been exacted. "Along the way, individuals on both sides of the conflict will be tested and suffer as never before, paying the price for their respective choices," Powers said.
"While one side may be declared the 'winner,' the losses on both sides make it impossible for either to feel as if they've won anything," O'Sullivan added. "What happens in issue #36 was one of the toughest calls for me to make as an editor and creator, but I think it was vital for the story of both sides to be progressed in the best way possible."
