Crank up the volume—Skybound and Image Comics, in partnership with Hasbro, are unleashing G.I. JOE: Cold Slither #1, a hard-rocking, one-shot that’s louder than a battlefield guitar solo! Hitting comic shops on Wednesday, October 1st, this face-melting release comes from the head-banging creative crew of writer Tim Seeley (Rogue, Local Man), artist Juann Cabal (Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man), colorist Rex Lokus (Aquaman), and letterer Pat Brosseau (Batman and Robin).
“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!” said Ben Abernathy, Executive Editor at Skybound Entertainment. “To say this issue was a labor of love is an understatement.”
The greatest rock band in G.I. JOE history is reuniting to rock harder—and maybe even rule the world. Tune up your air guitar and surrender your free will, because Cold Slither is back!
“The catchiest song ever tied to a military toy line has lived in my head rent-free for forty years, so I couldn’t resist dragging it back out to tell the true story of the scrappy band who recorded it,” said Seeley.
“My parents met at a Cold Slither gig back in the ’80s, so drawing this one-shot has been a really special gig for me,” added Cabal.
While Cobra climbs the charts and tightens their grip on the world, can G.I. JOE stop them before the final encore? Find out the wild, definitely-not-biased story of Cold Slither straight from the band themselves (and no, they’re definitely not the Dreadnoks in eyeliner… promise).
In addition to the main cover by Steve Beach, the variant covers for G.I. JOE: Cold Slither #1 include an open to order cover by Juann Cabal, a 1:10 incentive variant by Brent Schoonover, a 1:25 incentive variant by Steve Beach, and a blank sketch cover.
