I meant I enjoy both light-hearted and comical stories. I enjoy the creative and/or low budget efforts more. I understand the serious ones take effort, some look great...but they rarely do much that I find engaging. Pretty formulaic, and Devil's Due comic run showcased what a fan take on the official comic would be, which left me sour on dead serious fanfics.

I liked Lehsreh's one with Raptor...it was so out of left field.

I liked Troops of Doom's little mini-arc with the terracota statue "Do you know your GI JOE?"

Some of the ones at Javart's page are good, too. I found GI JOE Puerto Rico's efforts interesting, though those are more serious.

Mr. Arashikage's short ones that re-enact movie scenes are fun, too. He did a Knight Rider team-up, too.
