I definitely agree on the detail... it's awesome to see a really well-made set (or even a simple one with one or two ingenuitive effects at work) that works well with the figures in it.
I have a hard time with the fact that I believe 99% of good stories are character-driven, yet I know virtually nothing about the Joes' actual personalities... so a lot of what I do ends up being tongue-in-cheek stock and foil rather than using their in-depth personalities.
I could definitely read a whole dio that didn't have one panel of gunfire... a well-shot series of images with some tense moments and great visuals (and/or solid dialogue) would be a great read. Not that dios shouldn't have that kind of action, I just don't think it's entirely necessary; a whole dio about a hairy recon mission where the enemy never actually finds the patrol could definitely be decent if it were done well.
