Good, but the begining of the end

1986 marked the start of the fall of 'G.I. Joe: A real American hero' IMHO. That's when the cartoon, the comic and the toys began to really skew away from heightened reality and into pure fantasy.

If you go back and look at 'Joe' from 1982-85 and compare it to 1986 onward, it's amazing how different it is. By the end, 'Joe' was fighting aliens, drug dealers and for the environment. The costumes were all neon. It was awful.

Still, this mini-series was/is entertaining and retains enough of the classic ARAH elements for me to still consider it a part of 'Joe' canon. It does have some bad science though. Taking Napoleon's DNA is only going to make your creation short, not a military genius .
