While I understand that many folks bemoan the G.I. Joe film, it’s tough to argue that both the 25th Anniversary line as well as the Rise of Cobra event have brought a bunch more Joe fans to the table, which is especially cool because that means a bunch of cool new G.I. Joe fan projects end up emerging.
HissTank forum member Jimmy McWicked is the latest fan that has really made me sit up and say “Wow!” with his strongly animated-influenced fan art inspired by G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Every time someone cries foul about the fact that G.I. Joe: Renegades might have animated influences, I see stuff like this and say “so freaking what?” This is some of the coolest, most inspired fan art that I’ve seen in a very long time.
Jimmy McWicked can also be found on Deviant Art where you can peruse more of his fantastic work. Check out some of the mirrored images below.

Awesome stuff! On that tech support one, I’m thinking it’s Flash and Grand Slam on the ends, but who’s the guy in the middle supposed to be? I thought maybe Breaker, but he doesn’t really look like Breaker at all.
I wouldn’t mind if the Renegades animation looked like this, but I don’t know if I would want the toys to look quite so cartoony.
flash, sci-fi, grand slam!
