Discuss away!

i enjoyed this issue just because of the conflict between Serpentor and CC, after only one issue the ||Commander sees what a bad idea it was to have Serpentor made this issue also starts laying down the foundation for the Cobra civil war which was my favorite storyline in all the comics, i never did like the whole sleeping phoniex and how Storm Shadow just explained it seemed kind of like "oh yeah i wasn't really dead just takin a nap" this was just a stupid concept in my opinion, still the overall story was good :D

...and the seeds of the Cobra Civil war are sown! Not a bad issue, all things considered. And Special Missions #3 was a pretty cool one-off story as well. :)
