G.I. Joe: Renegades has launched and GeneralsJoes has you covered!

Due to some holiday scheduling, I didn’t get a chance to peruse G.I. Joe: Renegades until later tonight, but now that I’ve had a chance to watch it and digest it…  I’m ready for more!
I will admit the first episode actually left me wanting a bit more, which I was surprised about.  There was certainly a healthy helping of action, twists, turns, and great character interaction, but it just felt incomplete.  Nothing to worry about, though, as Episode Two came on right afterwards and really helped finish off the two-parter in excellent fashion.
Plenty of characters, some great nods to the fans, and in my mind, the animation was great as well.  But of course, don’t take my word for it…  head on over to the GeneralsJoes Renegades SuperPage to check out the latest updates!  Straight out of the gate, I’ve reviewed Episode 1 and Episode 2 and posted full intel over on the G.I. Joe: Renegades Episode Guide.
There you’ll find a detailed episode synopsis and tons of video clips pulled from both inaugural episodes.
Enjoy, and trust me, more content is coming, I just gotta have time to wade through it all.  Yo Joe!

G.I. Joe: Renegades is almost upon us… what to expect from GeneralsJoes

Well, anyone who has visited the site knows I’m keyed up about G.I. Joe: Renegades.  I know that has pissed some people off, but hey, it’s my site, so deal with it.  I’ve been working hard to make sure I cover plenty of other content as well as Renegades so for those of you who would bitch about it will just have to learn to live with it.
This weekend especially, Renegades fans should expect an onslaught of content as the first two episodes air.  I’ve already got the Renegades SuperPage up with links to characters, the Episode Guide, and all of your latest breaking news from the series.  As the episodes hit this evening, expect episode reviews, synopsis, video clips, and updates throughout all sections of the site.
Just like I did for Sigma 6, when G.I. Joe reinvents itself, and I enjoy the reinvention, I have a tendency to go all out.  We’ll see if Renegades keeps my attention even after I’ve seen the first two episodes.  So for Renegades fans, there will be a lot to love this weekend.  For folks who don’t like Renegades, the latest wave of Pursuit of Cobra figures is hitting my house next week, keep an eye out for those reviews.  No, I will not be sacrificing PoC content for Renegades stuff.  Don’t even worry about that.
Can’t wait to see the cartoon tonight, and looking forward to discussing it!

Reminder – Exclusive "Behind the Scenes" Special on The Hub at 3:30pm Eastern

For folks out there eagerly anticipating the first airing of G.I. Joe: Renegades, don’t forget that The Hub will be airing a special “behind the scenes” look at G.I. Joe: Renegades and Transformers: Prime at 3:30pm Eastern!
I’m stuck here at work, so I won’t be able to check it out, but hopefully other folks will take a peek and let us all know how it looks.
And of course, in a little less than two short hours, G.I. Joe: Renegades arrives.  It will be interesting to see if the internet folds in on itself from the rampant praise and/or complaints from the respective camps.
If nothing else, it will be entertaining.

IDW Review Onslaught – G.I. Joe: Future Noir #1

Okay, I’ll admit, I’m as fired up about new concepts in G.I. Joe as the next guy, but initially I was not sure exactly what to think about this idea.  I’ve never really been enamored with the whole Manga concept, though I do know it has its share of fans.  Devils’ Due actually tried this experiment as well with the Arashikage Showdown trade paperback when they had the license, and that particular issue didn’t really resonate with me.
Is Future Noir any more successful?  Click the “Read the Rest of this Entry” link below to see my opinions.
