Miniseries Premiere The Rise of Cobra Begins HERE. In a world where the Cobra organization hasn’t formed, one man’s sinister plans to utilize the mysterious alien substance known as Energon sends shockwaves across the globe. Who is Cobra Commander? Where does he come from? And what horrors is he planning to unleash that will rock the world – and maybe the universe – to its core? Red-hot writer JOSHUA WILLIAMSON (Superman, DUKE) and artist ANDREA MILANA (IMPACT WINTER: ROOK) kick off the second of four action-packed miniseries that will introduce the best and worst humanity has to offer in the Energon Universe.

"The Cobra Civil War is over but there's no risk of a peace outbreak. 'Cobra Command' begins as Krake, the new Cobra Commander, kicks off his reign with total war as he invades the sovereign nation of Nanzhao with all the military might under his power. While the JOEs have been hit hard Flint must still lead a team into the country to stop them."--Page 4 of cover.

Science fiction, fantasy, comics, romance, genre movies, games all drain into the Cultural Gutter, a website dedicated to thoughtful articles about disreputable art-media and genres that are a little embarrassing. Irredeemable. Worthy of Note, but rolling like errant pennies back into the gutter. The Cultural Gutter is dangerous because we have a philosophy. We try to balance enthusiasm with clear-eyed, honest engagement with the material and with our readers. This book expands on our mission with 10 articles each from science fiction/fantasy editor James Schellenberg, comics editor and publisher Carol Borden, romance editor Chris Szego, screen editor Ian Driscoll and founding editor and former games editor Jim Munroe.

It's a new day for the JOEs -- as they crawl from the ruins of Cobra Command, they find a new status quo... and a change in command! Stories from the comics series G.I. JOE, Snake Eyes, and Cobra converge in this volume plus the G.I. JOE: Cobra Annual is included.

G.I. Joe goes underground - literally! They've been on the defensive for the last four months, and now they've got a plan to get out of the line of fire, regroup, and start painting Cobra with red, white, and blue butt-kicking! That is, if Cobra doesn't find them and kill them first ... and, now, as the Cobra Civil War comes to a close, a new Cobra Commander will take over and bring Cobra out of the shadows.

With the COBRA's leader murdered, a deadly contest to establish the new leader catches the Joes unaware.
