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]
