Wow, this caught me off guard.
It's a G.I. Joe comic so your automatic reaction may be to brush it off as being juvenile or immature. That's to be expected. But I can bet that your idea of G.I. Joe most definitely is not THIS.
This is G.I. Joe: Cobra, which has us following code-name "Chuckles" as he attempts to infiltrate the mysterious terrorist organization known as Cobra. The writing style is sophisticated and driven by personal narrative which makes it feel like we're right there with him. I...more

I grew up loving G.I. Joe as a child. I remember racing home from the school bus to catch every episode of the cartoon. I never got into the comics but when Devil's Due relaunched the book in the early 2000's I jumped aboard. Sadly, none of those stories hooked me. Now, under the watchful eyes of IDW, the G.I. Joe franchise is born anew. This story is a realistic and raw militaristic book. This story, involving the undercover Joe, Chuckles, is amazing. The plot is dynamite and the script seems o...more

One of the three series that IDW started as part of its reboot of the G.I.Joe franchise (the third one being Larry Hama continuing off from where he left the 155-issue Marvel series), G.I.Joe: Cobra charts the tale of how Joe special agent Chuckles infiltrates Cobra and how he progresses within the organisation. Going in, I expected to see the big-name COBRA characters like the Commander, Zartan, Bar...more

Quien aparte sus prejuicios hacia la franquicia ochentera se topará con un trabajo intenso, muy bien narrado y donde el enlace entre acción e intriga no destiñen ante el best seller de espionaje más vendedor. La misión como topo de un operativo menor de los Joes cobra rápido interés mediante una trama adusta y descarnada,amiga del cliffhanger sin caer en la pirotecnia facilista para explicar sus giros; inteligente de principio a fin.
Remember that little gaspflutter you got when you opened a new comic book as a kid? This book gave me a gaspflutter I thought was gone. While it's intended for mature audiences, it's got that fresh from the dusty shelves feel that other mature audiences comics lack. Utterly unexpected, utterly enjoyable read.
I knew not to expect the typical G.I. Joe story from my childhood, but I was still blown away by the twists and suspense. Automatically one my favorite comic story arcs of the past few years.
One part Burn Notice wry cynical voice-over, one part grim John LeCarre thriller. Of the G.I. Joe relaunch books, this is probably the strongest.
un guión bien llevado en un extraño comic de GI Joe, lo mas flojo es el dibujo
Excellent story with some great intrigue.
A great, great spy story. Sure, it's a GI Joe comic...but it's also excellent. Especially the reflective epilogue, which blows me away every time. Great stuff.
Fantastic!
Collects IDW's GI Joe Season 1: Cobra I Mini-Series 1-4 & Cobra: Special 1.
Always a great fun and quick read. I think I've become more fond of IDW's JoeVerse than that of Marvels.
2011 April - reread # 3: preparation for IDW Season 2.

I'm not a huge fan of most of the modern Joe stories (other than Jerwa's stint on the DD series), but this limited series is absolutely fantastic. Tense and gritty. A rollercoaster of an undercover tale that is very well done.
