Skybound and Image Comics present an all-new G.I. Joe prequel in Cobra Commander #1. Written by Joshua Williamson, illustrated by Andrea Milana, with colors by Annalisa Leoni and letters by Rus Wooton, this debut issue is a newly retooled origin story of the legendary villain Cobra Commander. From the very beginnings of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero franchise, right through to the 2010s live-action features, Cobra Commander has served as the series’ principal antagonist, moving through several iterations of personality and backstory as the franchise evolved.Cobra Commander #1 opens in the present day, with Cobra Commander disturbing the peace of a sleepy rest stop. Then, a long time ago, and a long way away on the planet of Cobra-La, the reader sees mass demonstrations against Cobra Commander’s scientific work. Rioters try to force their way inside his laboratory to destroy his research. The fallout is catastrophic, and the mad scientist must prove his loyalty with a special mission to Earth.The characters of Cobra Commander #1 are simple and well-defined, benefitting from the series’ long history and distinctive aesthetics to quickly give characters a strong voice and identity. The dialogue is good throughout this debut issue, feeling fluid and engaging across a range of settings and registers. The shift in language from Earth to Cobra-La is a nice touch, lending the world a more formal and clinical atmosphere, giving it more flavor as a culture. The world-building is excellent, fleshing out Cobra-La using an impressively holistic style that feels naturalistic and packs in a great deal of information. The inclusion of a surprise crossover that will definitely have exciting consequences further down the line is deftly handled and adds to the scale and scope of the series going forward. Cobra Commander #1 is just as well crafted, panning back and forth across the timeline to build a rich picture of the past and building momentum toward an enticing future.
