G. I. Joe, A Real American Hero vs. Cobra

Launching in 2003 from Hasbro and Devil's Due Publishing, this six-issue miniseries pitted the classic G.I. Joe team against their arch-nemesis Cobra in a modernized, post-9/11 confrontation. Written by Brandon Jerwa with art by Emiliano Udin, the story brought back familiar faces like Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow while introducing a grittier tone to the long-running franchise. Though brief, this series helped bridge the gap between the original Marvel run and later revivals, reaffirming the enduring appeal of these military action figures in comic form.
