Kelley Skovron has revealed their brand new cover art and synopsis for the first novel based on G.I. Joe Classified Series.
“When Stan’s mom gets the job offer of a lifetime at a cutting-edge tech company, Stan packs his bags and exchanges Chicago for Springfield, home to the secretive tech behemoth, DeCobray Industries . . .
Saying goodbye to big-city life is only the first challenge Stan faces in moving to Springfield, a town that’s eerily under the thumb of his mother’s powerful employer. DeCobray has its hand in everything, including the Lyre XR augmented reality headsets that Stan and his fellow students at Springfield Academy are asked to beta test. At first Stan loves his headset—data on his classmates is at his fingertips, and the Lyre’s custom filters make school sort of fun—but then he meets Scarlett, Ichi no Zoro-me, and Julien, and his new friends show him there’s a lot more going on behind DeCobray’s flashy tech. When several kids go missing at school, Stan and his friends set out to uncover the truth behind the devices. But the further they dig, the more sinister the conspiracy at the heart of their town appears . . .”
The book is expected to release this July 26th and you can preorder both physical and digital versions via Amazon.
Hisstank.com is proud to announce our G.I. Joe Classified March Madness 2022 face-off! Board members are invited to post your top 32 most wanted G.I. Joe and Cobra agents that have yet to made into G.I. Joe Classified action figures. There has been lots of talk about G.I. Joe and Cobra figures that people would prefer to be updated, while others prefer the classic look and feel of the ARAH designs.
This is your chance to tell Hasbro directly what versions of each figure you desire and what figures should take precedence in both design and desirability. We are asking board members to be specific when making your list of 32 for G.I. Joe Classified March Madness. If you want a POC designed Iron Grenadiers (like me) over the classic design to be produced first then note these character selections properly. No character is off the table, if you want a Sigma 6 design all the way to Valor vs Venom sound off!
We have had excellent success with our previous G.I. Joe March Madness winners for 25th Anniversary figures because this list provides Hasbro with excellent direct market feedback. Every vote counts and we are asking everyone in the G.I. Joe Community to get involved! If there is a figure you want to see get produced let Hasbro know!
Sound off on the Hisstank.com forums and let us know what G.I. Joe Classified figures should be next!
