Here we see Cobra Commander tempting an economically depressed town in America called Millville.
Jobs! Free medical care! Bonses! Subsidized housing! Crime-free environment! Even Cobra Day Care! Cobra is all for the nuclear family!
Best of all, its all tax free!
One guy stands up to Cobra Commander, but its hard to stop the spread of fascist ideals when the choice these people faced was Cobra Commander's "better life" or starving.
In issue #49, Serpentor: "Soldiers never change. They still love the same old speeches."
ReplyDeleteCobra Commander does much the same here, only with civilians.
What I liked about that story was the variety of Cobra troopers and vehicles used.
What I didn't was that it was a one-off take over of a rust belt town all to make more weapons to sell. CC became Destro. And the story wouldn't be resolved for a few years.
Yeah, I'm one of those people who feel like the peak and decline of the comic pretty much happened when Serpentor took that arrow to the eye, the scope of Cobra was gimped and it just became ninjas, Snake Eyes/CC drama
