So I hate Cobra La, it's just stupid but I like the more serious tone of this book but I HATE Cobra La. This would be so much better if it was Storm Shadow that was CC's bodyguard. Storm Shadow should be evil. One of the worst things was turning him good in the comics.

I think "horror" is the wrong descriptor. It's certainly added gore to the mix, but I don't get a horror vibe. And keep in mind that this is just a limited series. I kinda doubt that Codename: G.I. Joe will have the same vibe.

Definitely not "horror." More like an R-rated action flick. Like CC being protected by John Matrix. Makes me laugh. If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too.

Exactly! I'm loving this series and the Energon Universe so far. "Gritty Sunbow."
Just bugged by the lack of Zandar (especially with Zarana) so far.

I also wish they would leave (most of) the gore to the imagination.
Agree the companion to CC is NE. I hope CC takes out Cobra La at some point - perhaps issue 5? I wonder how they will portray Storm Shadow…. |

I liked the variety of troops behind CC on the one page. CG Immortal and WORMS amongst Troopers and CGS. Awesome

You're a funny guy, EvilMeanie... I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.

I really think the art is the strongest thing about this title, to be honest. The splatter horror vibe is on point -- I actually think it is doing a great amount of "left to the imagination", we never see anything more graphic than big splatters of blood -- but the writing just kind of feels like it's spinning its wheels. Basically all we got from this issue in terms of characterisation was "the Dreadnoks are jerks" and "Cobra Commander is a schemer", both of which I easily could have guessed. I can't help but compare it to the Hama Marvel stuff, which I've been reading through, and the difference in the level of craft, characterisation, and story momentum per page is just night and day.
That said though Nemesis Enforcer(?) just tanking bullets and then killing a guy with a headbutt was one of the coolest things I've ever seen so who can say if it's bad or not. Last edited by Broadside; 02-26-2024 at 10:49 PM.. |
