The start of the DDP run was okay, but quickly went off the rails when Blaylock handed the writing duties ofer to Jerwa. I was unhappy with the way they handled several aspects of the series like the Coil, and characters like Overlord or Black Out. I didn't like the treatment Hawk received (though Mike Powers did a good job of redeeming the character). I did not think bringing back Colton to lead a smaller team, was a good idea. And don't even get me started on Gen. Rey!

I figured the Red Shadows story would have been the death of the line (and a welcomed one at that), but that just curtailed into America's Elite, which was terrible, and borderline unreadable, until Mike Powers took over as writer. World War Three was the strongest of the America's Elite run, and I would like to have seen what Mike had in store beyond that point.

I got a sense that Blaylock was a GI Joe fan, just not a good writer. I never felt that Jerwa was either, or understood the characters.

Frontline comics were okay, but forgetable. Same for a lot of the Special Missions. Special Missions tried to capture the feel of the Marvel Special Missions, but failed to on some level.
