Another late Friday night…but hey, I’m married with a couple of kids and I’m a toy nerd, it’s not like I’ve got a hot date or anything.
G.I. Joe: Renegades picks up steam once again tonight, thrusting us right back into the thick of the Joe and Cobra conflict! And we also just might get a glimpse of an important player on the Cobra side… or two.
Check out the Episode Guide, or hit up the Episode 11 entry itself right here.
It must be Friday night…otherwise known as “Renegades-Mania” in the GeneralsJoes household!
I’m currently plugging away at the episode review for Enemy of my Enemy, but while working on that, I managed to grab the full screen promo for Episode 12 as well! Plenty of Firefly action to behold. Check out the embedded video below!
The fan world was abuzz when this continuation of the Marvel universe was announced, but I know for my own part, I was getting pretty muddled in the brainwave scanner morasse, the crazed artwork was starting to wear on me, and while I appreciate the 90’s era for what it was, I think most folks were hoping for an extension of the earlier decade. Truth be told, we haven’t had Joe stories of that type for a long while, so that was a stretch to begin with…and the first several issues certainly didn’t help.
But then came issue #161. While the brainwashing angle was certainly still lingering, the artwork was much cleaner and crisper, the writing took a decidedly more military angle, and things were immediately looking up. Of course, I was concerned that this was the exception, and not the rule… what would issue #162 bring? Check out my review after the jump to find out.
