M.A.S.K. Annual #1 Now Available in Comic Shops and Digital Download

The first annual comic for IDW's M.A.S.K. series is here! Earlier this week, Comic Book Resources gave us a preview of M.A.S.K. Annual #1 which hits local comic shops and digital download today. While there is a new writing and artist team, the extended 49-page comic appears to remain as part of the Revolution universe created by IDW. Here is the official synopsis:

The M.A.S.K and G.I. Joe teams are put to the ultimate test as they join forces in a desperate, world-spanning, quest to keep V.E.N.O.M from harnessing the power of a stolen meteorite before its strange power can be used to dominate the world! 

• The Annual Offensive is here!

• Re-imagining the original television pilot, “The Deathstone”, for the new comic book age!

• The origin of Cliff Dagger revealed!
