    All is fair game in the quest for power. Through Williamsons excellent storytelling, the face of COBRA stands off against the Dreadnoks in a brutally strong manner. Milana, Leoni and Wooden craft the extreme actions taken leading to a show-stopping finish. The horror-driven tale delivers another winning chapter. Read Full Review

    Cobra Commander #3 kicks things up a notch with the Dreadnoks proving to be excellent antagonists for our titular character to face. Joshua Williamson and Andrea Milana create a story that enhances the strengths and weakness of every character that appears on screen. The chemistry created between Cobra Commander and the Dreadnoks makes this a must-read comic book. Read Full Review

    The wit of Cobra Commander is on full display in the third issue, revealing even more villains in the new Energon Universe. I'd argue that not a lot happens, but there are plenty of characters to soak up the scenes as the Cobra Commander regains his edge against his enemies. Come for the villainy, but stay for the unfettered violence. Read Full Review

    This is a devilishly compelling look at the dark side of the G.I. Joe mythos as CC's story unfolds and deals with the worst of humanity. At times shocking, and brutal like a crime thriller, 'Cobra Commander' is a good time spent with the bad guys. Read Full Review

    COBRA COMMANDER #3 delivers great cameos, intriguing twists, and solid pacing, showcasing Cobra Commander as a formidable villain. However, the prolonged interrogation scenes detract from the overall plot. Despite this, its a worthwhile read for fans of the series. Read Full Review

    A low key issue that does a great job showing off the main character, while not really reaching the heights I'd like to see. Also, no Croc Master, despite all the crocodile teases. Read Full Review

    I really liked this issue because it gave us everything you functionally needed in this 3rd issue. But I must warn, dang it gets brutal. We see that while the commander is not a fighter, the guy can take a messy torture. He knows how to play the waiting game and how to manipulate the pawns around him to do what he needs to get done. Williamson is delivering on his promise of a new type of Commander. Not a silly coward but a dark, intense, threatening one. He really is driving home the point that this guy will put the fear in you. He has two issues left and I cannot wait. The Energon books are the one universe that I just cannot wait for the next book to come out each month. I need more commander!

    Let me start by saying Cobra Commander #3 is not for the faint of heart! Picking up where the last issue left off, Joshua Williamson continues to steer this miniseries into some seriously dark territory. The Dreadnoks are unleashed in all their sadistic glory, and artists Andrea Milana and Annalisa Leoni don't shy away from portraying the brutality. Cobra Commander is tortured to the brink for more information on what he's doing in the Florida swamp, with beautifully gruesome artwork stopping just short of showing the full extent of the Dreadnoks' work. Williamson moves us closer to potentially seeing a major power shift in the broader Energon Universe as Cobra Commander's hunt brings him closer than ever to stealing the Energon fuel ce more

    I like a great deal about this issue, just like Duke, Williamson doesn't shy away from the violence. It looked like the helmet was coming off with the torch, but they didn't continue with it. Buzzer was extremely easily manipulated, which made me roll my eyes. I loved Ripper drawing the face on the Commander's helmet -- the smile added something to the issue. I'm not sure who the winged character is. Let me know who it is, if you're familiar with him. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/C5bh9PTV_XM

    I don't know anything about GI Joe or Cobra Commander, so my enjoyment of this series is a testament to the accessibility of Williamson's writing.
