The authors
Joshua Williamson AS screenwriter drags readers out of their comfort zone and drags them with it into a whirlwind of actionbut it moves forward firm and fluid, without haste or undue delaybuilding the story step by step without streaks or plot gaps that would make the narrative lose the thread.
As mentioned before, the story progresses steadily, introducing the characters, their world and the mission of the main scientist, who turns out to be the Cobra Commander. The reader begins by being a spectator of a work by Mary Shelley and its renowned Franksteinreaching the earth’s surface in a sort of western, with tundra backgroundin the style of Alone in the face of danger From Fred Zinnemann or her space stepsister Zero atmosphere From Peter Hyams.
Him promotion of Cobra Commander in this new world caused by discovery of Energon causes all factions to fight to get their hands on that mysterious energy source. Some with noble intentions and others for more vile and megalomaniac reasons. This approach used by Cobra Commander Williamson is a breath of fresh air on the figure of the leader from the rival GI Joe organization.
Taking advantage of the emergence of Energon universe From Image Comics/Skyboundthe screenwriter takes the bad in a more mature directionbut it it combines with classic elements of this and knows how to harmoniously mix action with horror and comedy; as well as fusing the serious Cobra Commander of the comics and the more histrionic one of the cartoons, together with the characters of GI Joe: The Movie.
Him Until From Andrea Milan e.g shockingcapturing the story excellently, being a visual feast. The cartoonist found a way to make the questionable elements of the GI Joe animated film work in cartoons. Furthermore, there is also an allusion to the successful Joe animated series, whose cameos serve to intertwine plot and mystery.
THE revitalized version Cobra’s future leader, Andrea Milana, shines once again here, with her duplicate machinations and her strong and angular design. The dark aesthetic created by the artist is magnificent for the story, combining perfectly with the colors of Annalisa Leoni showing a vile world, violence and threat.
In short, while this issue may not be that tied to the Energon universe, it paves the way for the modern GI Joe and Transformers shared universe created in Skybound.
