REVIEW: 'Cobra Commander' #3 by Joshua Williamson, Andrea Milana, and Annalisa Leoni

 


COBRA COMMANDER #3

Writer: Joshua Williamson

Artist: Andrea Milana, Annalisa Leoni

Letterer: Rus Wooton

Publisher: Image Comics

Release Date: March 20, 2024

Cover Price: $3.99

Cobra Commander isn't the only one looking to harness the alien energy source known as Energon. That means he has to either take control of the new organization he's encountered... or destroy them.

Score:

8.5/10

QUICK REVIEW: The fascinating thing about 'Cobra Commander' by Joshua Williamson, Andrea Milana, and Annalisa Leoni is that the titular character is an infamous supervillain so you don't root for him but you can't wait to see what he does next. CC thinks he's doing the right thing by finding and harnessing the power of the Energon for his planet and his people. He's ruthless but a loyal servant to his ruler. He despises humans (and frankly, who can blame him) so when he encounters the rowdy gang of the Dreadnoks he seems more annoyed than frightened even under torture. This is a devilishly compelling look at the dark side of the G.I. Joe mythos as CC's story unfolds and deals with the worst of humanity. At times shocking, and brutal like a crime thriller, 'Cobra Commander' is a good time spent with the bad guys.

    Its AMAZING how a writer can underwhelm on one comic and excel at others 9I can't stand his Superman) but this comic and all the Energon Universe Comics are incredible (I am old enough to remember the 1987 GI Joe cartoon where cobra La first debuted "COBRA LALALALLALALALA!"

  LITTLE MONSTERS #1 Writer: Jeff Lemire Artist: Dustin Nguyen Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: March 9, 2022 Cover Price: $3.99 They are the last children on Earth... who also happen to be vampires. For longer than they can remember, these child vampires have lived a life of eternal wonder amongst the ruins of humanity.

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking.   They team up again with an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire tale featuring "the last children on Earth" who've been left to their own devices among the ruin...

Two years later, the USA responded with two monkeys, Able and Baker. These animals never returned. But, unbeknownst to everyone, they did not die in orbit...they were taken. And now they are coming home. Score:  ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) Few things can pique the interest of a comic book reader like a good ole conspiracy thriller. The latest example is the excellent new series from James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds entitled 'The Department of Truth' that's been a bestseller for Image Comics. It proposes conspiracy theories can be all-too-real and for Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave St...
