A few years ago I found BFTB and summarily read all of the original Action Force comics. I loved these, particularly the artwork. Eventually I got to the point where Action Force UK and GI Joe US mergend, and Baron Ironblood killed off his Red Shadow minions and emerged as Cobra Commander.
I understand the need to introduce Cobra to the UK, but this really wasn't a practical method. I mean, yeah, maybe Cobra Commander was charismatic enough to lead TWO evil organizations at the same time and dupe the whole world into believing CC and Baron Ironblood were two individual terrorists (BI, by the way, was entirely more sadistic than CC). but why not merge the two? Or just leave them as two separate organizations? I mean, GI Joe had already gone up against the Oktober Guard, the Guardians of Paradise, First Strike and several other smaller groups. How do UK Joe fans accept the fate of Baron Ironblood? I know he was resurrected for the DD comic series, but I don't remember if they explained away the CC connection.

I didn't have any of the issues with it that you have, but I decided to chime in and say I, too, enjoyed the old AF comics. In fact, I think they're some of the best stuff out there.

For me it didn't happen. The Red Shadows and BI should have been left alone as a secondary enemy for GI/Joe or AF.
