G.I. Joe Resolute has been highly anticipated since it's surprise unveiling last year at San Diego Comic Con. As a cartoon written by Warren Ellis, animated by Titmouse, and aimed at us, this was going to be the 1st of it's kind.

Yet we didn't hear much about it in the months afterwards. The toys were released and can be found on shelves now. Wave 13 hit during the end of last year. A box set even came out.

After a long time of feverishly looking for answers, G.I. Joe Resolute was announced to be shown on Adult Swim, and later, Teletoon. It will premiere today at 6PM, and has been the hottest topic of discussion this week.

With that said, our Poll Of the Week(POW) is this:

The modern era wave 14 Lt. Falcon has been revealed! Not only is this figure in Night Force colors, the arms this time around are from Flint! We've seen another figure from this wave before, the Battle Damaged B.A.T. which renewed our hopes to see wave 14, so.....

With the appearance of this Night Force Lt. Falcon, could other figures from wave 14 see the light of day as well, and onto retail shelves? Other figures in wave 14 included Resolute Storm Shadow, Tiger Force Roadblock, and Zap.

Longtime Cobra Mercenary Major Sebastian Bludd, who punctuated innumerable battles with his "Cobra!" call, died Friday after being found murdered at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial.

"We lost our voice today," Cobra Commander said, his voice cracking. "He gave a tremendous contribution to our cause and certainly to our organization. I assure you the rumors of his assassination by the hands of Cobra Agents are false, and we will bring his killer to Cobra Justice!"

Major Sebastian Bludd joined the Cobra Organization in 1982. Before that, he was a member of the Australian Special Air Service and the French Foreign Legion.

He was best known from his three decades of ruthless tactics and his successful combat record against G.I. Joe while retrieving a very important part of both the Weather Dominator and Radio Active Material for the Cobra M.A.S.S. Device.

Newsarama has posted details on the upcoming classic G.I. Joe Yearbook Redux project, involving artist Michael Golden!

Currently, Golden is involved in the G.I. Joe Yearbook Redux. According to Golden, they are editing all of the artwork and dialogue (but not the story!) of the G.I. Joe Yearbook that he did for Marvel Comics some time ago. Not only is the whole thing being re-edited, he said, but Golden guarantees that there will be at least five pages of completely new artwork! He expressed excitement about the editing of the artwork, which he explained is being scanned from the original line art, so he anticipates it looking great. He is also planning to re-color the entire thing, which should make it extra special for the fans. The goal, right now, is to have the “Redux” out by the time the G.I. Joe movie hits theatres in August.

So there you have it folks, a fan-favorite classic will be revitalized later this year!

Home Media Magazine has reported on Shout! Factory's ambitious plans for the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero series on DVD:

Having secured the rights from Hasbro, Shout! Factory is planning an ambitious release slate for 1980s animated staples “The Transformers” and “G.I. Joe.”

The plan, according to Shout! Factory president Garson Foos, is to debut complete-series sets for each show exclusively for sale at San Diego Comic-Con International, running July 23-26, 2009. After that, the sets will be sold online directly to consumers, before a wide retail release. The hope is to capitalize on buzz surrounding the new live-action films for each franchise.

Also mentioned are more details on the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero complete series DVD set:

Shout! Factory sources indicated the “G.I. Joe” complete-series boxed set will come in a foot-locker package, and will include only the episodes animated by Sunbow Productions (a different studio produced episodes that take place after the animated movie).

Ward also promises all the episodes from both shows will include their original opening title sequences, but neither complete-series set will contain the animated films produced for each franchise.

Ward said there are currently no plans for a Blu-ray Disc release of the properties, although the new extras are being recorded in high-definition.

Lastly, a pricing information for Season 1 Part 1 was given:

G.I. Joe: Season 1, Part 1 releases as a four-DVD set July 21 (prebook June 23), also at $29.99.

Newsarama has posted their recap of the IDW G.I. Joe panel at FX International. The team of Robert Atkins & Chuck Dixon from G.I. Joe, and Christos Gage from G.I. Joe Cobra, were in attendance.

Prepare for the ride folks:

Gage said he has seen what Dixon has planned out for the next dozen to 15 issues, and fans will be very excited. He said that one particular description that was the coolest ever – just one sentence, but it was enough to get him excited. When prompted to reveal what that sentence was, Gage would only say that it had the word Cobra was in it.

What to expect after G.I. Joe Cobra:

Gage then shook his head, saying he couldn’t believe they are getting away with what they are doing in a book – after issue #3, if the fans are ready to kill them, he said to be sure to direct all inquiries to Costa. “He really knows the mythology,” Gage said, “so blame him!” Also, Gage revealed that while G.I. Joe: Cobra is not an ongoing series, there will be another mini-series with the same creative crew. He is even going to try and get Howard Chaykin to continue doing the covers as well.

Great news for fans of G.I. Joe Origins:

IDW’s plans have changed due to the overwhelming positive response to the titles. As stated, Cobra will have another mini-series, and Origins is going to be an ongoing title with a series of arcs that will focus on either a group or a single Joe

More info:

Atkins said that he was also surprised to find that a number of people responding to the title that he never expected to be Joe fans – including Ben Templesmith, who did an incentive cover for issue #0. He said that Ben has done a beautiful Baroness special Marc Andreyko wrote. And he told fans that they could look forward to work by other creators in the future that may be surprising.

On the main G.I. Joe title, Atkins will be doing the art for issues #1 thru #6, while SL Gallant (who has done the Duke and Destro prequels) will do the next six issues. Atkins will then return for issues #13 through #15.

In the comic, however, they will be building up to Storm Shadow slowly. They already have a way worked out for Zartan to be brought in the Dixon thinks the fans will really like.

Hama is going to draw a single issue, the same way he drew the silent issue for Marvel years ago. Atkins wasn’t sure which book it will be in, but the story is slated for next year. When asked if it would be another silent issue, Atkins replied that it wasn’t planned to be, but in doing the art, any time you draw Snake Eyes, it’s going to be silent. Dixon said he has a 12-page fight scene in one of his issues that doesn’t have a word. “Of course,” he laughed, “when you fight to the death, what are you going to say?”

Thanks to Newsarama, and to HISS Tank.com boards member artiepants for the heads up!
