Everyone seems pretty vocal about the upcoming G.I. Joe main series revamp in March, but I haven’t heard a whole lot about what people are looking forward to with the Special Missions title. Comic Book Resources spoke with writer Chuck Dixon about the series, which looks to be pretty heavily infused with the realistic, gritty military action that many of us adult Joe fans are into.
With art by Paul Gulacy, and a team featuring stalwarts like Scarlett, Recondo, Beachhead, Mainframe, Ripcord, and Torpedo, Special Missions is a more down and dirty look at the underbelly of G.I. Joe’s military operations across the world.
The article showcases some great preview pages along with the interview, check it out at Comic Book Resources. Thanks to Kord on Twitter for the heads up.
From the sounds of it, the team will be rotating each arc – so while the ones in there right now are the first story, it could be Scarlett / Mainframe / Spirit / Shockblast / Hit and Run / Wet-Suit next time out.
(Assuming everyone on that list is still alive, that is)
Well Scarlett and (maybe) Mainframe are safe, but I really hope they don’t kill-off Spirit after Hearts and Minds made him so interesting.
