Newsarama.com : WORD BALLOON: CHUCK DIXON
i ddin't actually listen to the podcast, but saw the relevant info in the breakdown.
"Plus Chuck has some new GI Joe stories in the works for IDW, that will serve as prequels to next year's GI Joe movie"
I've long thought Chuck'd be a good person to take on Joe if allowed to work it long-form (i think he took over Reloaded late in the game, right, but too little, too late for that). He's great at the gritty and the military type stuff.
Just hope it's better the the abysmal (story not art) Transformer movie prequel...
SportingViper says
I'll probably not buy these but Dixon is a great writer.
SNAKE EYES says
It will be a wait and see before I decide if I'll buy these. Chuck Dixon is a great writer though and I'm pretty sure he did take over Reloaded at the end.

We need more news like this. My debit card has been begging for a vacation from Joe spending for some time now.

They lost me at "prequal to the movie". :\
morgana08 says
Dixon's good if allowed to run a his own pace. I liked his work on Nightwing at DC and some other stuff he's done.
Dropshot says
I don't know what they can show us in those comic prequels, the movie is going to be the beginning of the franchise, I only think they can talk about the baroness and duke's engagement. Anything else will be shown in the movie.
artiepants says
well, they could do character-specific prequels showing training/pre-Joe missions for some of the characters that get less screentime
Derek2783 says
...such as how Ripcord subjected himself black-face for an undercover mission, but it went permanently awry. HAHA!
Renegade says
Yes! I dont care for the movie - but ever since his late Reloaded work.... Chucks a talent I always wanted on Gi Joe!!
Good choice, IDW!
