What they did right?
They took a mediocre yet very loved by me Marvel comics and breathed life into it by developing characters, storylines, and made the GI Joe team matter again, ALL WHILE MAINTAINING MARVEL CONTINUITY!!!!
They made you "forget" that GI Joe was a simple toy and made them a kick ass military comic regardless of it being GI Joe.
They loved GI Joe as much as us, and they were daring enough to do things like kill LJ, Billy, and many other characters (RIP Flash), but treated them with the respect of a family member.
I often get made fun of about how passionate I get about comic book characters, but since I've been reading comics for so long, I know many of them better than I know some/many of my own family members.
They finally made Duke the cool character he was meant to be. I often talked to Josh Blaylock at shows and he once told me that his Duke was based on the Jack Bauer character! I loved the relationship between him and his dad, and how they explored the death of Duke's mother.
Even though they have done the best job of GI Joe to date, it never really, really got great until America's Elite! The General Rey revelations and the whole Baroness saga with her child.....priceless. I still think that Flint is really the father of her child.
They created so many great characters and actually made me like some of the old ones more. Especially Spirit.
Enough with the good though, I could fill a four drawer filing cabinet with praise for DDP.......onto the bad.
What DDP did wrong with GI Joe.
They couldn't pony up enough green to outbid IDW on keeping the rights. Now, we're getting a ground zero continuity, and poor production values for too much money paid out by us, the collector.
IDW's comics are lacking a great deal when it comes to bang for your buck. It's seriously on a short leash with me.
