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)! 

From Ellis: 

"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:
