For a few years now Mike Costa has been turning the world of G.I. Joe and Cobra on its ear and it’s now hard to remember a time when his masterful work wasn’t reshaping the world of the Real American Hero.  Cobra #19 hits comic shops on Wednesday as the current iteration of the title roars to its conclusion in preparation for the (re)launch of the title as the Cobra Files in early 2013.
