I know pretty much nothing about G.I. Joe. What comics should I read?

Pretty much all I know is that it’s about soldiers.

I’ve read that the best place to start is:

Duke Vol. 1
Cobra Commander Vol. 1
Scarlett Vol. 1 (optional but good)
Destro Vol. 1 (optional but good)
G.I. Joe Vol. 1 (main series)

In that order.

Is that true or are there better options, for someone that knows nothing about the series/franchise?
