On Free Comic Book Day (May 1 this year), we'll have two FCBD offerings. One will be G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO 155-1/2. This is the first time we've ever done an all-new, full-length story for FCBD. The issue picks up from the final issue of the old '80s Marvel run of G.I. JOE. All 155 issues were presided over by writer Larry Hama, who's returning to his roots and penning this tale, too. The FCBD Web site has an interview with the book's editor, Andy Schmidt, where he talks about what people will see in the issue and where it leads from there.
Art on the comic is by Agustin Padilla. You can read the interview here.

This looks pretty cool. Does this indicate a return to that continuity? I would certainly be up for that.
This book returns to that continuity, but we're by no means scrapping or changing our new continuity, either.
Please consider doing something similar for Transformers with Simon Furman. That original TF continuity is where he belongs!
I am so there. If this title is even half as good as the first multi-issue tale Larry did on Origins, I'll be happy.
Is this just a one-shot return or will there be more?
