i agree with a lot of what you are saying. ive read my share (or not read as i just skim them) dios that are nothing but gunfire. these are boring as there really just pic and not dios to me. a dio tells a story, not show cannon fodder.
one thing i think makes a great dio is characters. by this i do not mean a lot of them, just by which ones. ive saw dios where only the newest dios are used. this is cool and all, but for some people who havent bought many new joes or have been out of the joeverse for awhile, their left wondering " who the bloody blue smurf are these characters". dont get me wrong it can still be a great story. but if you have all new characters who have never saw movie, tv or comicbook time and no recognizable joes then speaking for myself, i have no one to relate to. at least throw in a beach head, letherneck, shipwreck or hawk in there somewhere.
as for the format i like, it would have to be gen. joes. i like the top to bottom order and the cobra and joe patterns on the side, but i understand that this takes more time. for me the comic book creator get s to be too unreadable sometimes. it all gets into one big cluster and its hard to tell the chronological order
