Yeah, if you enjoy flat, one- or two-dimensional stereotypes. I enjoy more. They
were
twins. Hasbro presented this new pair of twins to Larry, he hated Zandar so he wrote it off and wrote out the character as being forgotten. It's not rocket science.
The best case scenario is if Larry leaves it ambiguous and unsaid. That way, you can think of Zandar as the middle sibling, I can think of them as twins, and I don't have to hear how they're not, forever. (You guys know, once Hama firmly establishes Zandar & Zarana aren't twins, you'll
never
let me forget it.)

The thing I like most about GI Joe ARAH is it's LARRY HAMA'S story. He's to the point now where it seems like he just writes what he wants and doesn't care if people like it. I'll be sad if Firefly goes but I'm excited to see what happens.
Writing entirely for oneself and to hell with everyone else isn't going to guarantee a successful, strong-selling title. Is it working?
As a comics reader, historically I've never paid attention to the writing or artist credits. I follow characters and stories rather than any particular person. Hama treats GI Joe like it's a creator owned, and private, fiction. It's not. He has job security because he's written it for donkey's years. GI Joe belongs to all of us, and was created and fleshed out by many people, not just one.
