Fun issue. Even from a position of total captivity and weakness, Cobra Commander comes out on top by turning his enemies against each other.

This issue is very bittersweet.
Zandar! I am so glad to see Zandar getting some development. But Zandar & Zarana will never be close. Are they even twins in the Energon Universe? I don't know what to say... |

Thought you'd be thrilled. Zandar's already here.
Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlett....none of them in the new series yet but Zandar beat them all to print! I'm still underwhelmed with this series. Story is too slow and dragged out and I don't like the art. "Duke" is way better. Looking forward to "Destro" and "Scarlett" too. |

He has a very faithful straight-up 1986 design. That had to be cool for you to see.
A month ago when all we had was the preview pages, it looked unlikely he'd be in it at all. Now he's here in all his 80s glory. Not bad! |

DDP gave us a modern take on Zandar that had ZERO punk elements, ZERO matching elements with Zarana, and had Zarana just plain not care about Zandar and only focus on Zartan. Now it's the same thing, different publisher. Only this time, Zandar has his 80s look. Everything I loved about Zandar and Zarana's lore is just gone... Zarana is all about Zartan and HE'S NOT EVEN IN THE DAMN BOOK YET, Zandar's scarf is probably just a fashion statement instead of matching Zarana to tie them together, Zandar's not attached to his sister like in IDW. I loved that and it's just gone now. All of it is just gone, just so we can see yet another Zartan and Zarana dog and pony show. Oh and Zandar isn't trusted by Zarana which likely means they're not twins. I'm so tired....I don't want to have to do this anymore... Everything I love about them is just gone and I'll be hearing about this forever now. :( :( :( Gathering up my strength for another twenty year fight, but I'm tired.

How'd you ever get so attached to the idea of them as close twins if you're a "lore person first" considering they've never really been depicted that way?

Fun issue. Initial thoughts:
> I've said it a few times already, but this is a gritty version of Sunbow, which I loved so this is very enjoyable for me. > How does Cobra Commander know Zartan? > Curious to see who survived Nemesis Enforcer's rampage. > Art is mostly very good. A couple panels, such as the one where Zarana is interrogating CC, were a little rough. Still, it's significantly better than Duke, which I find hard to even look at (sorry, Otomo--agree to disagree). |
