In preparation for the upcoming movie, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (on the list of films I have to see this summer), IDW has relaunched the Joe mythos in a number of series. My favorite so far (I get them all), and sadly I think it's only a mini-series and not a full ongoing, is G.I. Joe: Cobra. Its' a classic take on the "world is gray" kind of guy, who can straddle both worlds, good and evil. Chuckles is a soldier deep undercover in what will become the terrorist operation COBRA. Excellent storytelling and in depth character study highlight this tale of a guy who has finally found his niche - amongst thugs and killers. The most recent issue, #4 shows truly the dedication of Chuckles as he does whatever is necessary (ala Jack Bauer) to get the job done.
The cover only begins to scratch the surface of what Chuckles is capable of in service of God and country. His final act of violence in this issue only serves as motivation for him to fulfill his goal of bringing COBRA down.
Pick this book up, as well as the other ongoing G.I. Joe titles....
