So by Action Force you mean just the stories published in Fleetway's Battle/Action Force comic and not Marvel UK's Action Force titles?

I'd say GI Joe; ongoing plot threads, more complex characterisation and stories, the ability to inject humour and satire to lighten the tone sometimes rather than having an air of grim determination the whole time... I guess there's a certain element of realism to having terrorist bad guys who are thugs and/or fanatics but they ended up coming across as too one-dimensional to me rather than Hama's motivations of personal greed and, masterfully, honour.
