If you are looking to follow the CCW storyline it starts with Joe #0, then Joe #1, SE #1, and then Cobra #1. It stands to reason that every month will follow the same schedule for the rest of the arc (Joe, SE, Cobra) unless stated otherwise, or if there's a special released somewhere in there. They usually do a press release about anything like that, though.

What the hell is Menasian? When I googled it I did not get the results I hope for. Unless you're in to that sort of thing.

Not really sure. I seem to remember them mentioning a region of asia in his origin, but that doesn't really narrow it down much. Perhaps Nepal, Tibet, or Bangladesh?

Menasian is his last name, as far as we can tell. As far as his heritage, it seems he comes from central asia, or atleast that's the most educated guess, given the clues.
As far as "what he is", or more accurately, what Serpentor is to Cobra? I don't know exactly how to describe it. Imagine someone who is a mix of The Pope, Charlie Manson, and Tony Robbins. Basically, he's Cobra's "Spiritual Leader". Wether or not that role is now just a ceremonial left over, that was once part of Cobra itself, and now just used as a "New Age" religion to brainwash people into doing things for the organization, and as a way of amassing wealth. Or if there is still some validity to what Serpentor does within the organization, and if some in the organization actually believe in what he's selling and he acts as their holy man, is kind of unclear. Perhaps both. He is, or atleast was in his original appearances in Cobra, on of the most interesting characters of those that have gotten a fresh new spin. Nothing like the original Serpentor from ARAH, this character is believable and fits right in. Why he's suddenly taken on the visage of the original Serpentor with the bulky armor I've no clue. Other then perhaps the artists are just drawing what they know from childhood, or research, and no one has told them different? I wish they would get back to the cult leader angle. It was a great story, imo, and one I'd love to see more of. I think it'd be cool if we got a Coil special once or twice a year. Detailing what goes on within the organization from either an infiltrator, or agents point of view.

So Steeler's gone from a bad ass tank driver to a computer nerd? One more reason to hate what IDW has done to G.I. Joe.

Has he? They seemed pretty surprised that he knew what it was. So it's believable that while he's still a badass tanker, that he's also a gamer. Remember, Tanks are pretty high tech. Even the old M-60 Battle Tank used a range finder, and computed the telemetry of rounds. Given that Steeler would now be using atleast an M1A2 Abrams, if not an Abrams that's even more modified, or something else completely experimental altogether it's not really outside the realm of possiblity that he's into games and simulators. Atleast, in my opinion.
