Cold Slither #1
SCORE: 71
First and foremost I thought the idea of a Cold Slither comic book
was pretty interesting. I remember the G.I. Joe cartoon where Zartan and
his Dreadnoks were a rock band singing that one song. Cobra used
subliminal messages to brainwash people into following Cobra. G.I. Joe
stopped them in the cartoon. Cold Slither #1 takes a little bit
different approach. There will be spoilers in my review of the Cold
Slither #1 comic book.
The Cold Slither #1 comic book cost me $3.99. There are twenty-four
pages of comic book content within Cold Slither #1. There is a page from
the editor talking about tribes near the end of Cold Slither #1. There
are also some advertisements. One of the ads in Cold Slither #1 really
caught my eye. G.I. Joe #13 poses a question. Who will survive the
Dreadnok War? So the Dreadnoks will be front in center in the next
storyline. Which makes Cold Slither #1 make a whole lot more sense.
Hector Ramirez is doing a show in Cold Slither #1. He wanted to find out
what happened to the band. So he goes and interviews them one at a time.
Cold Slither #1 culminates with the band getting back together and
playing again in a live stream. Cold Slither #1 goes over the history of
the song and the band. Kids watched the video and got brainwashed into
thinking Cobra was really good. America welcomed Cobra as their new
leaders.
Where Zartan and his Dreadnoks wound up was pretty fascinating to me
personally. Buzzer makes the most sense knowing his background. Zartan
made the least sense to me. The interesting thing is G.I. Joe is
actually resisting Cobra's rule. They got the band back together to
reverse the brainwashing to fight against Cobra in Cold Slither #1. The
band is just happy to be back together again.
The issues families can have with Cold Slither #1 are violence, lack of
attire, enticement to lust, bad language, false gods, and more. The
credits can be found on the back of the front cover of this comic book.
Cold Slither #1 feels like an alternate reality. It is an interesting
one though. I like the idea of how it all worked out in Cold Slither #1.
I find it funny that Zartan and Dreadnoks love that they brought Cobra
down at the end of Cold Slither #1.
