Comic Book Resources had a chance to talk with Chuck Dixon recently about his GI Joe Special Missions comic for IDW. Dixon talks about how the initial story arc starts with the team salvaging billions of dollars in Cobra funds and end how the Baroness shows up to rain on the parade. Here's how Dixon describes Special Missions:

"Readers will know that we've been moving toward the "Special Missions" kind of story for a while now. The Joes have gone through some massive budget cuts, and much of their operations are now of the hunter/killer surgical strike kind of capability.

"Special Missions" is about a shifting team of Joes headed up by Scarlett, with Mainframe as her second in command. Scarlett chooses the team for each highly-classified mission based on the specialties of the various grunts under the Joe command."

He also mentioned which classic characters will show up:

"Beachhead, Tripwire, Ripcord, Torpedo and lots more. Spirit finally shows up in the second arc, and I'll be using Shockblast (formerly Shockwave) in an upcoming story. We'll also be seeing the Dreadnoks finally introduced into this continuity."

It also turns out that Dixon is writing a series of SEAL Team 6 novels. The research involved in doing so aids him in writing the Special Missions book.

CBR was given 2 exclusive preview images to show, read on to check them out.... [Read More]

Metal Head
Destro's Anti-Tank Specialist

"The real targeting computer is upstairs in his brain, and it doesn't have an "Off Switch." This guy is so wrapped-up with his work that even when he sits down for dinner he's preparing for battle. he tests his visual acquisition sensors by locking onto the mash potatoes as they are passed from one end of the table to the other. He calculates wind deflection by observing how the steam rises off the meat loaf. He even measures the diameter of the green peas, seeing them as micro-targets. If he looks you straight in the eye, you'll feel as if you have a bullseye on your forehead."

USA Today recently talked with GI Joe Cobra Files writer Mike Costa about his upcoming book. This book is the spiritual successor to the popular COBRA comic by IDW. While the GI Joe book by Fred Van Lente takes on a more public persona, GI Joe Special Missions and GI Joe Cobra Files focus on clandestine operations.

Antonio Fuso is sticking around as artist for G.I. Joe: The Cobra Files (debuting April 24) and the retooled series is keeping the same noir-ish espionage bent that it's had since Costa, Fuso and writer Christos Gage rolled out their first Cobra miniseries in 2009.

And Costa carries over the aspect that has made Cobra one of the more popular G.I. Joe comics in recent memory: "The stakes being much more emotional than physical, though there are physical stakes, and always dealing with the moral question of what it is they're doing," the writer says. "If you can be a good guy doing bad things and still stay a good guy, that's really the whole theme of the book."

Cobra Files will feature a small cast:

• Ronin
• Chameleon
• Flint
• Lady Jaye

"They're not a rock 'n' roll team like the main book or even the Special Missions book. The only real warriors on the team are Flint, Lady Jaye and Ronin. Chameleon really isn't a field agent and she's the star," says Costa, who adds that not only is the first issue of The Cobra Files a great jumping-on point for new readers but it's arguably the best G.I. Joe issue he's written.

"It's basically what I had always wanted the book to be: smart, fun, dark action."

More on Chameleon by Costa:

"She sort of switched sides to survive, and came to find out that working for G.I. Joe was only slightly better," Costa explains. "She's trying to navigate that moral landscape and really create a moral identity for herself and figure out if it's too late for her to maybe do some good and whether or not that's who she's going to be."

Also not helping matters is that she's not a trained soldier, yet she's continuously put in life-or-death situations and not handling it well.

"That's something I don't know if we've really seen explored very often in books like this, the real trauma of violence on someone who is just not prepared for it," the writer says. "Chameleon's a really interesting character because she's so broken, basically."

Also a classic Cobra character will be debuting soon...

The Cobra Files No. 1 will introduce somebody new from the classic Cobra roster, and the first arc, which starts with issue 2, brings in a whole group of characters readers haven't seen yet. (It won't be the Dreadnoks, although they'll be making an appearance in the second story line of Dixon's Special Missions.)

While the article does talk about Raptor, Costa said the new guy is not him. So who could it be?... [Read More]
