A few weeks back I notified everyone of a pair of Amazon pre-orders for upcoming G.I. Joe: Renegades Trade Paperbacks. These comic collections are due early next year. Well, thanks to GeneralsJoes reader Captain N. for astutely noticing that Amazon has recently updated the pre-order page and features new cover artwork!
You can pre-order these books at the links below, and I’ve also screen-capped a generous amount of images, too.

While we have no confirmation as of yet for the rumored November 26th air date, G.I. Joe: Renegades artist Clement Sauve has updated his DeviantArt page with a very cool piece of Snake Eyes art, seeming to indicate that Renegades is indeed “coming soon”.
A big thanks as always to fellow Renegades enthusiast kennywr22 from HissTank.com for digging this up!
I know the quality of the art is subjective, but I’m still digging it, and I like that they’ve used an artist with some connection to the G.I. Joe mythology. Clem’s work on the Dreadnoks DeClassified TPB cover and the covers to the America’s Elite “Sins of the Mother” arc with The Baroness are all pretty cool as well. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for November 26th…looking forward to it.

The fans have long since complained that we don’t get any real information with these Hasbro Q & A sessions. Well, this latest round is proving that information wrong. Thanks to Toy News International, we finally have confirmation that the G.I. Joe: Renegades toys will be worked into the “Pursuit of Cobra” line and will remain in a realistic style! The exact quote is as follows:
“TNI: The G.I.Joe Pursuit of Cobra line seems to be going over well with collectors. I know at Joe Con this past summer you said that POC would continue for a few months and then you would switch to toys based on the Renegades cartoon. Is there any chance you will continue to do POC alongside Renegades stuff for collectors?
Hasbro: G.I. Joe product inspired by characters and themes from the upcoming G.I. Joe Renegades series on the Hub will be available in Fall 2011. The figures will be offered in the Pursuit of Cobra line and will have the highly-detailed, realistic look of the line.”
I’ll admit right up front…part of me was looking forward to an animation-accurate toyline, and a big part of me was convinced that’s what we were going to get. However, I know a LOT of fans who were against that concept, so for them I’m psyched to hear this. To a degree, I’m psyched myself, too, because while an animation-accurate line would have had at least some appeal to me, I am so in love with the Pursuit of Cobra, that the fact that this “style” is continuing is music to my ears as well.
Another great tidbit came out of The Terror Drome, who finally got the final say on the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra Commando Snake Eyes figure:
“3Q – The Wave 3 Snake Eyes looks amazing! Will there really be two variations released, one commando goggles head, and one visor ninja head? What is the planned distribution ratio? Hopefully a 50/50 or close as possible?
3A – We have an update for you – all carded figures will have both the Commando and Visor heads. There will no longer be variant version on this figure.”
More terrific news, for sure, and another piece of intel that should make collectors smile.
Keep your eyes peeled to GeneralsJoes.com, we’ll have our ear to the ground throughout the weekend to let folks know as more answers come in. Keep on checking the Q & A Page as well, which has already been updated with several fan site submissions!

Take from this what you will…we’ve seen and heard numerous reports about the G.I. Joe: Renegades air date, and here’s the next one in line. Of course, it does match up with what Renegades artist Clement Sauve said, so perhaps that lends more credence to the report?
Whatever the case, TV Listings website TV Tango is reporting that G.I. Joe: Renegades will air the day after Thanksgiving, November 26th, at 5:00pm Eastern. I think that’s actually a great time and date. The kids will be off from school, but it’s not on too late in the day. Time will tell if this is accurate, but there certainly seems to be plenty of corroborating evidence this time around.
Thanks to kennywr22 of HissTank.com and TKPrime of the MS Gulf Coast Collectors’ Club for the info!

Keep in mind, I’m taking some of this information with a grain of salt, because the language within the interview is somewhat unclear. But according to an interview with Greg Johnson at 411Mania, there is a possibility that G.I. Joe: Renegades might air early November…perhaps even the 10th.
Honestly, I’m not sure that’s entirely accurate. There’s no telling when this interview was done (though it was only released yesterday) but Mr. Johnson specifically mentioning the 10th appears to me to be more related to the debut of The Hub rather than Renegades specifically. We’ll see.
To me, the better information is that Greg Johnson is involved in the first place. This guy is an action animation powerhouse, who has been involved in a wealth of fantastic animation. This is his resume:
- Beast Wars
- X-Men: Evolution
- Ultimate Avengers & Ultimate Avengers II
- Invincible Iron Man
- Dr. Strange
- Wolverine and the X-Men
So yeah, pretty much every Marvel related animation release over the past several years has been written by Greg Johnson. Just seeing Beast Wars, X-Men: Evolution, and Wolverine and the X-Men on this list is freaking AWESOME to me. Three of my favorite animated series over the past several years. Great news.
Another little tidbit of information comes from MultiChannel.com. The information they reveal mentions G.I. Joe: Renegades being a part of the “Weekend” schedule.
“WEEKEND AFTERNOONS
Deltora Quest
Men in Black
G.I. Joe Renegades
Batman Beyond
Hubworld
Hub Family Movie Night”
WEEKEND OVERNIGHT
G.I. Joe Renegades
Batman Beyond
Men in Black…”
Take this all with a grain of salt, of course, but as we get closer to November hopefully the picture will start clarifying.

So far there has been no real concrete information about an air date for the first episode of G.I. Joe: Renegades. However, HissTank member “Clem” (who is Renegades concept artist Clement Sauvant) is reporting that the series is slated to start around Thanksgiving. The actual text of the post is below:
“Renegades premieres on Thanksgiving, not sure if it’s the week of Thanksgiving or literally the day of thanksgiving though.”
Hopefully more information will be forthcoming, and hopefully we’ll start seeing some trailers and promotional material hitting soon.
