Let’s cut to the chase — the Dreadnoks are here! After the first issue of Cobra Commander gave fans a look at Megatron’s first meeting with the titular G.I. Joe villain, Cobra Commander #2 offers a more grounded albeit equally iconic antagonist in the the fan-favorite band of swamp rat mercenaries. Check out a huge preview of the issue’s pages (from writer Joshua Williamson and artist Andrea Milana) as well as its variant covers below, after these official deets…
Today Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading toy and game company Hasbro, revealed an impressive lineup of variant covers and a first look at interior pages of Cobra Commander #2 from writer Joshua Williamson (DC’s Superman, Dark Ride), artist Andrea Milana (Impact Winter: Rook) and colorist Annalisa Leoni (Oblivion Song). The next issue of the Energon Universe’s newest limited series arrives in comic book shops on February 21, 2024.
After the shocking reveal of Megatron in the last issue, Cobra Commander searches for a power greater than any the Earth has ever seen. But when this mission brings him face-to-face with a fan-favorite G.I. JOE faction – will they be friend, foe, or something else entirely?
The second of four action-packed G.I. JOE miniseries that will introduce the iconic characters of the G.I. JOE and Cobra factions to the Energon Universe, Cobra Commander joins Duke, the newly launched limited series from Joshua Williamson, Tom Reilly (The Thing) and Jordie Bellaire (W0rldtr33). These miniseries promise to set the stage for a fresh new take on G.I. JOE, Cobra and the iconic characters that you only think you know in a shared universe with TRANSFORMERS and Void Rivals!
The Energon Universe officially began in June 2023 with the surprise first appearance of iconic TRANSFORMERS character Jetfire in Void Rivals #1 from Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead), Lorenzo De Felici (Kroma), and Mateus Lopes (Step by Bloody Step), introducing the historic new collaboration between Hasbro and Skybound, with TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE comics finding a new home with the publisher. Then TRANSFORMERS #1 from writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb, DC’s Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater, Murder Falcon) kicked off a brand-new era for the iconic franchise. The Energon Universe recently expanded with the launch of Duke #1 and Cobra Commander #1. Fans should expect can’t-miss moments from every issue of the Energon Universe, as secrets are unveiled along the path to answering the BIG questions.
