G.I. JOE Resurrects COLD SLITHER in a Wild New Comic One-Shot — GeekTyrant
For fans who grew up on the gloriously awesome G.I. Joe animated series of the '80s, this is the kind of comeback we didn't know we needed… until now. Cold Slither, the fictional hard rock band fronted by Cobra's biker goons, the Dreadnoks, is getting its own comic. G.I. Joe: Cold Slither #1 drops October 1st from Skybound and Image Comics as part of the expanding Energon Universe, the ambitious crossover playground uniting G.I. Joe and Transformers under one chaotic roof. Written by Tim Seeley ( Rogue, Local Man ) and drawn by Juann Cabal ( Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man ), the one-shot dives headfirst into the rise, and inevitable implosion, of the most dangerous rock band to ever shred for Cobra. 'The catchiest song ever to grace a military-themed toy line has lived in my head rent-free for forty years,' Seeley said. 'So I'm happy to drag it out, and write the true story of the scrappy band of miscreants who recorded it.' The band was originally introduced in the episode 'Cold Slither', where Cobra cooked up a plan to brainwash the youth using subliminal messages embedded in a rock anthem. Naturally, the Dreadnoks were the perfect fit to front the band. Artist Juann Cabal is just as fired up to bring this chaotic ensemble to the page: 'My parents met at a Cold Slither gig back in the '80s, so getting to draw this one-shot has been really special for me.' Ben Abernathy, Executive Editor at Skybound, added: 'To say this face-melting issue was a labor of love is an understatement. Getting this motley crew of creators together for this incisive and heartfelt look at the rise and fall of the legendary Cold Slither was a heavy metal dream come true!' This is the kind of fun and unexpected deep cut that makes the current G.I. Joe comics so much fun. They're not just rebooting the familiar stuff, they're digging into the stranger corners of the franchise and treating them with reverence and ridiculous flair. G.I. Joe: Cold Slither #1 hits comic shops on Wednesday, October 1st. Get ready to throw the horns and surrender your free will to Cobra's favorite rock band.

DC This Week Roundup: Law and Justice
Harley Quinn #52 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: This book has always been one of DC's silliest, but it rarely gets as silly as this issue – as Harley and Ravager duel to the end in…district court? The two of them are facing the local council over a brawl they had when Harley tried to destroy Althea Klang's latest invention – a wifi hotspot placed right outside of Harley's landlady's apartment building. Ravager was hired to stop Harley, which led to a Looney Tunes-esque battle of wills and bats. There's also an interesting subplot involving Chicken Fingers, who surprisingly can't back up Harley on this one and his dark, shocking (for this book) origin is revealed. Overall, it's pretty funny and Harley and Ravager playing off each other is great. I'm not sure about the ongoing subplot involving Althea Klang's crush on Harley, though – the villainess isn't a particularly entertaining character, and I don't get why both Harley and Ivy are being given new love interests suddenly. Peacemaker Presents Vigilante/Eagly Double-Feature #4 cover, via DC Comics. Peacemaker Presents Vigilante/Eagly Double-Feature #4 – James Gunn, Story Consultant; Tim Seeley, Rex Ogle, Writers; Mitch Gerads, Matteo Lolli, Artists; John Kalisz, Colorist Ray – 8/10 Ray: This two-part series is defined by one thing – ultraviolence and lots of it. The first story, by Seeley and Gerads, turns Vigilante loose on the most violent assassins in the city. This story might not have too much in the way of complex plot, with only short segments each issue, but Seeley's biggest role in this is taking us inside the thoroughly insane mind of Vigilante as he gets more and more unhinged with each issue. The second story doesn't work quite as well on that front, with Peacemaker and Eagly's adventure having more of a Looney Tunes vibe with a lot more blood. Peacemaker might as well be a pincushion, as many times as he gets stabbed by the assassins roaming the island. While he eventually does take them all out and get some peace, there's another unexpected villain lurking for the final showdown. Fun, but not much of a story either.
