All Games End Today
I nearly pooped my pantaloons today when I surfed over to Adult Swim for some lunchtime tostada accompaniment and found G.I. Joe: Resolute, a new (PG-13) take on the action figure-selling property of my youth... penned by none other than Warren Ellis (creator of Transmetropolitan, Planetary, and Freak Angels, and one of my own personal comic heroes)!
"The people at Hasbro were actually remarkably supportive. And I did apologise after shouting at them those times. And they did give me one of those conversations that you never really expect to have when growing up:
HASBRO: No, Warren, you cannot wipe Beijing from the face of the earth.
ME: Shit. (pause) What about Moscow?
HASBRO: Wiping Moscow from the face of the earth would be fine."
The first 5 episodes are up on Adult Swim and YouTube:
