We have received info that the first novel of the G.I. Joe Classified Series has been given a new title. Book One will now be known as ‘Welcome To Springfield!‘; a nice nod to the most famous town of the G.I. Joe franchise.
Unfortunately, the book release is delayed to March 15th, 2022. At least the printed version is.
The digital version of the same book is available on the previously known date of November 23rd, 2021.

Sweet. I'm an avid reader, so this will be perfect.
I'm going to read it, but even back when I was the target age for this book, I would have felt condecended to. Who the hell wants to have a bunch of ordinary kids watering down thier GIJoe?
Unless one of them is named Billy . . .
Now there are some possibilities.

Hmmm. I'm not too interested in the kids in the book but it sounds interesting enough to make me want to give it a try. My brain will refuse to imagine the Joes in anything but their classic gear but that's the fun of novels.
I was interested until I heard about the kids
I’ll stick with the comics, I’ve never read a whole book in my life sadly, got through 5 pages of a Rambo novel once lol for a school assignment, wish I could get through a book though, really do!
It sounds like a full blown treatment of the old PSAs - kids find trouble, then Joes jump out from behind the bushes and offer advice.
Not to be critical, but wouldn't the actual adventures of gi joe make for a better and more exciting story? Just a thought...

Actually, if there will be enough illustration from Phil Noto, I'll get a copy for the art alone.
