I just viewed them as their own stories, doing their own thing. Honestly, I could care less about who they killed off. They're just stories. I mean, we could say that about Larry Hama, but most people consider that canon and everything after is just extended universe, y'know? I'm not sure what DD should've done w/ GI Joe. I don't think starting with Reloaded would have worked simply cuz at that time in 2001, people wanted GI Joe. Not from the beginning, but what happens after 7 yrs. The idea was pretty sound. DD wanted to do an aged team and bring in a new cast of Joes for the next generation. Unfortunately, NOBODY wanted that. They just wanted more GI Joe adventures w/ their fave chars. I didn't like Reloaded. I didn't like the main series either. Frontline was too varied for me so I couldn't remember one issue from another. BUT I do say that the Special Missions and Classifieds have been awesome and that's the route DD should've started. Forget a main story and main team idea, go with lil missions that use a variety of chars and most importantly, make them stand alone. That's just me, of course.

Joe went downhill in my opinion. and why not kill off ji9nx and keep lady jaye? i say kill snake eyes, ( though that will never happen), kill duke, falcon, hardball, hard drive, hacker and some other names that are never in anyhting. i mean who uses cpt grid-iron? kill off some of the useless and overused and bring back quick kick. hell they did it for storm shadow and they made a new gen flagg. why not good ol quick kick, doc and lady jaye.

I like it gritty and real....

They say battles are won with aimed fire. Someone said that during the Battle for Springfield.

If the terrorists ran into Joe bullets, we wouldn't need "a daring, highly-trained special missions force." We'd need a guy a with a .50 cal and another to keep feeding the ammo.

Okay, maybe that would be a little TOO gritty.

The great thing about my Joe-verse growing up was that sometimes guys did get killed. But I didn't sit there and have a funeral. I just "rebooted" my Joe-verse the next day and everybody was in play again. I never read any of the DD stuff, just Marvel.
