G.I. Joe: The Cobra Files

After the dissolution of Cobra, a new threat emerges in the form of a mysterious organization known as The Black Box, forcing a specialized G.I. Joe team to operate in the shadows. Published by IDW from 2013, this nine-issue series by writer Mike Costa and artists Antonio Fuso and Werther Dell'Edera shifts the focus to a covert unit led by Chameleon and Lady Jaye, with Firewall and Michelle LaChance in support. It matters as a lean, espionage-driven chapter that explores the moral complexities of intelligence work in a post-war landscape.
