G.I. Joe: Cobra was published in 2009. It was generally well-received,[1][2] and was followed by the one-issue G.I. Joe: Cobra Special, which investigates the relationship of Tomax and Xamot since the events of G.I. Joe: Cobra. The Cobra Special was the recipient of the MTV award for Best One-Shot Issue of 2009.[3]
In 2010, another 4-issue miniseries, G.I. Joe: Cobra II, was published as a direct continuation of the previous Cobra miniseries and one-shot.[4] After its conclusion, the title became an ongoing series with the publication of G.I. Joe: Cobra #5,[1] which continued the storyline of Cobra II while preserving the numbering of the original Cobra miniseries. There was another one-shot issue, G.I. Joe: Cobra Special #2, which explored Erika la Tene in her new role as the Chameleon. The ongoing series ended with #13.
In 2011, a new ongoing G.I. Joe: Cobra ongoing series was announced under the banner of Cobra Civil War. In January 2012, the series will earn an annual titled G.I. Joe: Cobra Annual 2012: The Origin of Cobra Commander, showcasing the origin of the new Cobra Commander. Also in January 2012, the series will become part of a 9-issue crossover with the other two G.I. Joe ongoing series: G.I. Joe and G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes. The crossover is titled Cobra Command.
G.I. Joe member Chuckles is the Joes' top undercover agent. And he's just infiltrated Cobra, a top secret, highly organized terrorist organization. Chuckles is pulled deeper and deeper into the dark underbelly of Cobra, where one misstep means death, while he tries to pull off the ultimate deception, and bring them down from within.[5]
