Well, it feels like forever since there were new toys to review! I’ve spent so much time with G.I. Joe: Renegades, that I felt it only appropriate to get these Pursuit of Cobra reviews out as soon as humanly possible to avoid fandom revolt for folks who are sick and tired of the latest G.I. Joe animated adventures.
My goal is to post one review per day of Wave 3 from now until Friday. First up is Storm Shadow… yeah, I’m starting with him. It can only get better from here, right?
Check out the review in the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page, or directly at the link below:

Big thanks to The Terror Drome for digging up this nugget from the MSN TV Listings…while they’ve kind of been leaking things one little episode at a time, they’ve now updated a plethora of new titles for upcoming G.I. Joe: Renegades episodes, and one of them promises a “Rise of the Dreanoks”!
Where Transformers: Prime is taking a bit of a break between now and February to reload it’s library of episodes, G.I. Joe: Renegades will continue full steam ahead, bringing us apparent new content straight through at least February 4th, 2011. There will be a missed week here and there, but by and large, we won’t stop for a while yet.
Check out the full listings of episode titles and air dates below. Certainly some intriguing titles to go on… can’t wait to hear more!
Episode 8: Rage – January 7th, 2011
Episode 9: Dreadnoks Rising – January 14th, 2011
Episode 10: Busted – January 28th, 2011
Episode 11: The Enemy of my Enemy – February 4th, 2011
At this point we can only hypothosize as to what some of these episodes might contain. It will be a hell of a lot of fun to uncover. Keep in mind, too, some of this might change…but so far MSN has a very good track record.
Major Bludd made his auspicious debut tonight in the G.I. Joe: Renegades universe, and pretty much knocked it out of the park. I had my share of (minor) complaints, but by and large, Episode 3 continued the trend of fun, action-packed episodes from the Renegades.
Most interesting to point out is that Major Bludd was not the only familiar character from the past to make his appearance for the first time. Over on the G.I. Joe: Renegades Super Page I have added Episode 3 to the Episode Guide, which includes video clips, an episode synopsis as well as a full blown episode review.
Get it all right here! Don’t forget you can also check out all of the video on my YouTube Channel!
