While G.I. Joe fans everywhere are getting geared up for the big G.I. Joe relaunch in 2013, not much thought has been paid to how the current storyline is wrapping up. Over at Newsarama, we get a little sneak peek into G.I. Joe #21, which will wrap up the current Target: Snake Eyes story and tie off this latest “season” of G.I. Joe before the exciting new chapter takes over with a new issue #1.
In this preview we see a recently retired Hawk trying to escape his dangerous life in a cabin in Idaho, but Cobra has other plans…
Check out the preview at Newsarama!

Over the past several years, I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone who isn’t a fan of the IDW Publishing Cobra series. This landmark comic, kicked off a couple of years ago by Mike Costa, Christos Gage and Antonio Fuso, showed readers that G.I. Joe could get dark and gritty in a way that it really never had before. The film noir writing and artistic style blended together perfectly with a nearly flawless granular look at a single undercover G.I. Joe agent trapped behind enemy lines.
If Brandon Jerwa brought Chuckles to the public consciousness with his work on the Devils’ Due Frontline book, Costa, Gage, and Fuso permanently etched him into the G.I. Joe mythology, weaving a fascinating and intriguing tale of how a single agent worked his way within the vicious underbelly of Cobra and nearly brought the operation to its knees.
Amazon.com has a pre-order posted for a fantastic looking hardcover, listing December 17th as the release date. Christos Gage has been pretty public on Twitter, and he suspects these hardcover editions will be under-ordered….so if you even think you might want this book. Pre-order it. Click the banner below to grab this great edition at a great price, and support GeneralsJoes.com while you’re at it. It is currently at a fantastic price as well, saving you nearly $25 off of the cover price!
I also want to personally thank everyone who has purchased something through my Amazon Affiliates link. It has been a very successful endeavor so far, and I greatly appreciate the support by my readers!

Good friend of GeneralsJoes and writer for USA Today Brian Truitt took some time to speak with Chuck Dixon, current writer of IDW’s G.I. Joe title, and the guy who is going to be headlining the G.I. Joe: Special Missions title next year.
As the flagship G.I. Joe title retools slightly for a more public face in 2013, the Special Missions title will focus on the more specialized, military operations on a much smaller scale. With Scarlett and Mainframe as two team leaders, we get a peek at the nitty gritty G.I. Joe world that we all know and love.
Along with this interview, preview pages were also posted, showing a peek into the intial release of Special Missions. So far we’re looking good! Check out the USA Today interview right here, and the preview pages below.

We all know the fine folks at IDW and Fred Van Lente are bringing a somewhat new G.I. Joe world to us in 2013, and one member of that team is Hashtag. Billed as an “embedded blogger”, Hashtag fits in with the current social media-infused communications world.
Over on Comics Alliance, notable Joefan Chris Sims and artist Chris Haley came up with some other roster additions to this new Social Media friendly G.I. Joe team.
The results, as you might suspect, are hilarious.
Check it out at ComicsAlliance.com.
