So after almost a year of anticipation, the big debut of Resolute came, as a midnight movie special on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network).

To many fans, it was an exciting time to enjoy new animation, new character renderings,  and shoot-em-up action. To the fans of Storm Shadow, it was a dark moment.

The longtime Joe mythos character received probably the darkest character rendition ever for a Joe based cartoon. More evil than Cobra Commander was in Sunbow, DiC, SPYTROOPS, Valor vs Venom, Sigma 6, AND Resolute, Tommy was recreated as a violent, jealous, Snake Eyes-hating instrument of death and vengeance. Their backstory was completely changed, as were the characters of the Hard Master and Snake Eyes. Towards the end of the story, Snake Eyes was forced to kill the evil Storm Shadow , in a very "Kill-Bill" styled fashion.

According to our poll, this has not been well recieved by fans. Storm Shadow has been a "good guy" to the hard core fans for too long to accept this. If you have an opinion to share, click here to join the discussion.

Yo Joe!

After the ending of IDW's GI Joe #2, we were all left with the teaser of "NEXT ISSUE: The Return of Snake Eyes!" as the preview for the upcoming issue #3 for the month of March, 2009. Well, the issue has hit the stands with another double set of covers and a sharp looking retailer's incentive cover. But what is Snake Eyes up to now? have the subtle clues dropped about his current status been answered? Have we been told why he foiled Stalker's operation? and most importantly, has IDW changed his gender?
