Hasbro’s GI Joe Resolute web cartoon is gearing up for its finale that will air this weekend during Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.
Starting last Friday, two 5-minute GI Joe Resolute segments have debuted at AdultSwim.com every weekday. Kids who grew up watching GI Joe cartoons in the 80s immediately recognize their favorite characters, only in Resolute the bullets are real and absolutely no one is immune from meeting an untimely demise.
Though Electronic Arts has no hand in Resolute, they did pass along a few teaser images from the final 10 minutes that will debut on Cartoon Network this weekend (Saturday night at midnight). Once the complete series completes airing on TV, it will become available in-full at AdultSwim.com.
Once Resolute comes to an end a bigger question begs an answer. Has there been enough interest in Resolute to develop an ongoing adult-targeted GI Joe series to air on Cartoon Network? The potential is there if scribe Warren Ellis had more than an hour to work with. You can help out the cause for an going series by catching up with segments 1-10 at AdultSwim.com.
