We're still a couple of months away from the live action GI Joe movie, but you can already get your fill of hardcore toy-inspired violence with the online premiere of Resolute, a new animated series.

GI Joe: Resolute (written by acclaimed comic book writer Warren Ellis) is being positioned as a more "sophisticated" take on the characters than the old animated series, in preparation for this summer's big-budget movie; the online premiere of the show leads up to its broadcast premiere on Cartoon Network next week, which will show all of the webisodes as well as debut the final 10 minutes of the storyline. We have to admit, we're excited, even if we kind of miss those old PSAs.
