G.I. Joe has been fighting the evil forces of Cobra for decades, but this September will see the terrorist organisation unleash its master plan on the unsuspecting Joes with Cobra World Order!
Written by G.I. Joe legend Larry Hama and with art from S.L. Gallant, the mammoth 8 part event gets underway in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #219 and will run bi-weekly through September and October.
“What we have seen of Cobra’s plans in G.I. JOE: ARAH to date is just the tip of the iceberg,” said series writer, Hama. “Other players in the Cobra periphery—like Destro and Zartan—are making their moves so as to be in on whatever benefits accrue from Cobra Commander’s master plot. Meanwhile, Hawk leads an international team around the globe to uncover the details of this sinister conspiracy.”
“After the Death of Snake Eyes, I didn’t think Larry would come up with something that could top a story like that… but the more we talked about COBRA WORLD ORDER and the more details he gave me about COBRA’s momentous scheme, the more I saw this as a perfect event: something accessible to new readers that still pays off years of worldbuilding and storytelling in G.I. JOE: ARAH. Fans—new and old alike—are gonna be blown away!” said IDW editor, Carlos Guzman.
