Good Lord I love Fridays. I always used to roll my eyes at the folks running around saying TGIF! TGIF! You know… I like my job, and my weekends are so damn busy that Fridays weren’t necessarily anything special.
Well, now Friday is “Renegades Day” and it’s definitely something special.
Over the past 3 hours or so I’ve watched the latest episode nearly three times, pulled clips, and posted it all up on the Episode Guide. You can also check out the review/entry itself at the link below:
Yeah, I’m a little slow on the draw this time around. I’d been DVR’ing a bunch of shows throughout the week, hoping to catch this one (which got cut off during the initial record of Episode 4).
Well, thanks to a tip from kennywr22, I recorded the reruns of Transformers: Prime tonight and… BINGO.
There is certainly some new footage in this particular promo, and it obviously puts a lot of attention on the conflict between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Episode 5, Return of the Arashikage, Part 2 airs tomorrow at 5:30pm Eastern, only on The Hub! Check out the embedded video below.
Wow. Tonight, G.I. Joe: Renegades tackled the tough issue of Snake Eyes somewhat convoluted and adult-oriented origin, and I think they handled it very well. Certainly not copying the Marvel continuity, but accurately representing the spirit and feel of the characters and the story in a cartoon for kids. Kudos to the Renegades folks, especially Greg Johnson, who penned this particular episode.

ComicsContinuum has posted a “First Look” 5-Page preview of the upcoming G.I. Joe: COBRA #2, which hits local comic shops on Wednesday, April 15th.
Written by Christos Gage and Mike Costa, and with art by Antonio Fuso, the book centers on G.I. Joe undercover agent Chuckles attempting to infiltrate the most secretive terrorist sect known to mankind. Along the way we see some familiar faces and watch Chuckles slow descent into the terrorist underworld. Check out the 5-page preview here.
In my personal opinion, this is the best G.I. Joe book I’ve read from IDW yet, I’m greatly looking forward to Issue #2 next week!
