Cobra Commander mini-series had a standout debut issue. Writer Joshua Williamson, artist Andrea Milana, colorist Annalisa Leoni, and letterer Rus Wooton will follow up the debut with Cobra Commander #2 on February 21st. Ahead of its release Skybound and Image Comics have provided us with a first look at Cobra Commander #2.
Following the reveal of Cobra Commander studying Megatron’s body, the second issue of the mini-series has updated its solicitation to match this surprise:
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 Megatron reveal continues to the connection G.I. Joe now has to the Transformers in the shared Energon Universe. Over in the Duke mini-series, we saw the title character deal with Starscream’s attack on the US military in Transformers #1.
Cobra Commander #2 will be released with its main cover by the series art team of Milana and Leoni. Additionally, variant covers by artists Ricardo Lopez Ortiz, Chris Burnham, ACO, and Nick Dragotta will also be available. You can check out the covers and five-page preview below:
