Questions about Renegades episode order? Blame Canada!

Or ask Canada as the case may be…  :shifty:
Over on HissTank.com, a user by the name of Super Beast noticed a Wikipedia entry for G.I. Joe: Renegades that presented an episode order far different from what we saw over here in the United States.  It is widely believed that the original airings of the episodes of G.I. Joe: Renegades stateside were mixed and matched, probably in order to accommodate the Homecoming 2-Parter airing on  Christmas Eve.  Well, in Canada, the show didn’t start airing until after Christmas, so with no worries about Homecoming, it would certainly appear that Canada is airing the Renegades episodes in the corrected order.  So far, in Canada, episodes have aired in the following order:

  1. Descent – Part 1
  2. Descent – Part 2
  3. Rage
  4. Dreadnoks Rising

A quick glance at the Canadian TV Guide page reveals that the next two episodes are:

  1. The Package
  2. Return of the Arashikage Part 1

Obviously, we can assume Part 2 will follow that.    So, for those Renegades freaks (like me) who want to know exactly what order the shows are going to appear in, I would strongly advise checking TVguide.ca on a regular basis to see how the episodes lay out.  That should clear the air considerably!  I will say, I’m not 100% convinced that the Wikipedia entry is spot on.  I think there could potentially be a couple more episodes that were produced prior to Homecoming, but this is a great start nonetheless.  Thanks again to Super Beast for noticing this.

First guest announced for the 2011 G.I. Joe Con

And it’s a good one!  For whatever reason, over the years, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club hasn’t sought to invite any of the Sunbow voice actors.  Or perhaps they have, they just haven’t landed any.  Well, this year they did, and it’s quite an appropriate one!
Hank Garrett will be landing in Orlando to attend the G.I. Joe Convention!  He’s starred in scores of films and television series, but we all know him as…  Dial Tone!  Quite the appropriate choice, considering the free membership figure and his inclusion in the Special Missions Brazil boxed set.

GeneralsJoes Reviews IDW G.I. Joe: Cobra #12

Wow…has it been a week already?  I know I was holding off a bit on the review, for fear of spoiling the storyline events, but I figure pretty much anyone and everyone knows what’s happened at this point, and the review is fair game.
So then it was just laziness.  :shifty:
Honestly, though, the latest issue of G.I. Joe: Cobra pretty much continues the status quo, and nobody should be surprised.  Shocked maybe, but not surprised.  Does that make sense?  Read the full review after the jump.

GeneralsJoes Reviews IDW's Infestation #1

So, what am I doing here?  Infestation dropped this week, but there’s no sign of Duke, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, or even Chuckles… so why review it?
The answer is simple…because, like it or not, Infestation will be barreling through every IDW book shortly, including G.I. Joe.  And since I do plan on covering those titles, I figure I might as well review the issue that started it all as well.
Now, I’ve gone on record several times that I’m not really a “zombie” guy.  They don’t really mean anything to me, one way or another…so seeing an over-arcing storyline featuring Zombies isn’t something that really excites me.  However, I am a fan of good fiction.  Does Infestation apply?  Yeah, I think it does.  Read the full review after the jump.
