G.I. Joe #5

A sleek Cobra agent in a black bodysuit dominates this striking Cover A for G.I. Joe #5, dual assault rifles crossed at her sides as she stares out with cool, calculating confidence against a deep crimson backdrop. The Cobra sigil emblazoned on her chest leaves no doubt about where her loyalties lie, and cover artist John Dickenson frames her with a near-symmetrical elegance that feels more spy thriller than straight-up action comic. Fred Van Lente and Steve Kurth's 2013 IDW run continues to find fresh angles on the G.I. Joe universe, and this issue promises plenty of tension from the enemy's side of the battlefield.
