Ok . . Kobra's back and he's one sick puppy. As I've noted before, it seems that these Faces of Evil books are a way to reintroduce an villain and kind of update him to the paradigm that is now the DC Universe . . the villains are smarter and more powerful. They aren't the 'jokes' and the 'b-list' gags that they've been in the past. But the 'heroes' should be grateful, because 'what doesn't kill them will only make them stronger'. The problem is . . I have a feeling we're going to lose some in the process. The old Kobra was Jeffrey Burr. This one is his twin brother Jason. His first order of business is to destroy any part of Kobra that was related to Jeffrey. That includes the Kobra babies that Superman has been protecting all of this time. This book, however, is only his introduction. Apparently he's going to make his face and his mission known across the DC Universe in the months to come. That's something to look forward to. Right? This story was written by Ivan Brandon. He's done a fantastic job here. And the pencils are by Julian Lopez, formerly of the Outsiders. All in all this whole book is pretty cool. I've always thought that most of the DC villains were a bit of a joke. But . . not any more. This is going to change everything.
