Zartan returns to G.I. Joe: Renegades on March 18th

Everyone set your DVR’s!
By and large, many folks have been complaining about Zartan’s first appearance in the G.I. Joe: Renegades universe…but it looks like the Renegades writers are looking to make it right, with Episode 14 – “Knock Offs”.  According to TVGuide.com, the infamous Cobra Master of Disguise may finally get a recognizable look:

“Lady Jaye and Flint use Zartan to track the Joes. Meanwhile, the Baroness tries to sneak a camouflage suit to Cobra”

Excellent.  According to Zartan’s official bio, he steals the camouflage suit, and something tells me, he will end up looking a lot more like the Zartan we know and love.  Can’t wait.

GeneralsJoes Reviews IDW's G.I. Joe #27

So last month when I reviewed Issue #26, I praised the art and the overall story, but was disappointed that this particular story was put where it was.  A cool and fun tale, but it didn’t serve well as the culminating issue of a two-year long story arc.
I agreed to give Dixon one more chance to surprise me, and with Issue #27 hitting this week, it’s time to say whether he pulled it off.

G.I. Joe: Renegades new episode return pushed back a week

For fans of G.I. Joe: Renegades like myself, the date March 4th had been circled on the calendar as the next new episode.  According to MSN TV.com it was slated to be “Whiteout” and rumors indicated that perhaps Snow Job would be making an appearance.
This does not seem to be the case, however, as enterprising Renegades fan kennywr22 has checked his DirectTV listings, and the next episode is now not slated to air until March 11th.  The March 11th episode will be “Brothers of Light” featuring the debut of Tomax and Xamot!
This information does seem to jive with other things, too, considering we already saw a promo video for Brothers of Light, and already had an episode description for it as well.  According to the IMDB Episode Guide, Whiteout is now Episode 15, and will be airing after “Knock Offs”.
Thanks very much to kenny for this information!
