The name "Cobra-la" was supposed to just be a placeholder name for the secret country where Cobra Commander came from in the tepid GI Joe animated film from the 80's. "Like Cobra came from Shangri-La!" It never got changed to anything better.
Koh-Buru-La is probably just an attempt to make that sorta good.

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.
...koh-buru-lah? What even are they doing there?
ReplyDeleteNo idea but it's awesome. It's like if Jack Kirby and Steranko wrote GI Joe.

Yeah it really channels Kirby
ReplyDeleteOne thinks "Starscream" is a composite of star and scream. But in actual fact it's of stars and cream.
ReplyDeleteStar cream! Delicious
ReplyDeleteI swear a long time ago I talked about how Snake Eyes was a blonde guy in the comics at one point and you didn't believe me.
ReplyDeleteHis mask was blonde... He maybe was before being disfigured, I don't think they ever show his eyes and hair in a flashback.
ReplyDeleteBut in this comic he's not pretty for long...

ReplyDeleteI think I need to pick this one up!
Issue 0 is free on Comixology. That's what this is from. All the writing is like this.
ReplyDeleteThis is also the only time anyone has made Starscream badass. "Paragon of DEATH!"
ReplyDeleteThat art and writing is great.
ReplyDeleteIn a split-second he decides to throw a grenade to the weird-robot ;)
