G.I. Combat Against Dinosaurs Next Month from DC

Apr 3, 2012

Back in the 1960’s DC Comics ran a title called The War that Time Forgot. The story of a group of American soldiers stranded on an uncharted desert island in the Pacific during World War II. The title ran for 8 years, and then made a brief appearance in 2008.

Next month, DC Comics brings the series back again. G.I Combat finds a band of American soldiers again stranded on some blasted island filled with monsters.

Writer J.T. Krul had this to say about the series in this article at the DC Website, written by Pamela Mullen:

Big, loud, and violent – that’s the name of the game as our soldiers are confronted by something beyond their wildest imaginations. Sure, there’s a mystery surrounding how they come to find themselves in such a situation – but all that is secondary to our soldiers as they kick into pure survival mode. They don’t want answers merely as much as they simply want to get the hell out of this hostile territory.

As a species, man has been pushing around every other life form on the planet – dominating and controlling. But now, he’s going to feel what it’s like to be on the other side. We’ve got guns and grenades, tanks and missiles, but can even all that stand up to the creatures that ruled this world millions of years ago? Size may not be everything, but these behemoths sure know how to make an impact in a big way.

May 2nd the comic arrives featuring the first chapter of “WAR THAT TIME FORGOT” written by J.T. KRUL and with art by ARIEL OLIVETTI….and dinosaurs. Plus the first chapter of “UNKNOWN SOLDIER” by JUSTIN GRAY, JIMMY PALMIOTTI and artist DAN PANOSIAN focuses on all-out war in Afghanistan.
