So.. sounds interesting, looms promising. Warren Ellis apparently wrote a GI Joe series that’s starting to air in 5 minute segments on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim adult programming block with a 10 minute finale to be aired along with all episodes in one big block. Some YouTube links and embeds follow that are probably going to disappear once Cartoon Network notices them. I don’t feel too bad linking them since Warren Ellis did it first.

From http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=7187:

Someone on Twitter just shot me this link about GI JOE: RESOLUTE, what I wrote:

Hasbro announced today that G.I. Joe: Resolute, an adult fan oriented animated mini-series, will be broadcast via Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim on television as well as online. Based on the classic G.I. JOE brand, Hasbro created 60 minutes of total content for this new story which will be presented as 11 episodes.

Beginning on April 17, fans will be able to see the first five minutes of the brand new, stand-alone animated mini-series on AdultSwim.com. These episodes are broken down to ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute finale. Following the first episode on April 17, subsequent installments will be posted on the Adult Swim website leading up to a full presentation of the entire series. This finale will be broadcast on Adult Swim April 25 at midnight. This televised event will not only feature all episodes seen online, but will be the first time fans can watch the final 10 minutes of the G.I. Joe: Resolute saga. All episodes, including the finale, will be available to view online after this airing.

Some more stuff at the link.

Obviously, I’ll have the links to the episodes every day as they go live.
