Comic Book Preview

VeeFriends Comic Book #17 introduces Confident Cobra and Mentor Mongoose in their first-ever comic book appearances, as a bold but untested Cobra is forced to confront what confidence really means when instinct, ego, and survival collide.

Written and illustrated by Jim Rugg, what begins as a story about fearlessness and predation quickly becomes something deeper. When the fearless Confident Cobra crosses paths with predator Mentor Mongoose, together they navigate danger, discipline, and hard-earned growth, discovering that real confidence is not about never being afraid, but about knowing how to respond when it matters most.

Created & Story by Gary Vaynerchuk | Written & Art by Jim Rugg
