What if IDW produced a new ARAH series based on the Hamaverse? Start by retelling ARAH #1 Operation: Lady Doomsday with no more than 13 well known Joes (perhaps a more diverse group than the Original 13) and a menacing (not bumbling) Cobra organization. Starting with issue #2, all of the stories are brand new, save for some important stories here and there (so maybe when #21 rolls around, retell that as well). Don’t ever bring in any new Joes (always keep it at 13), just new villains that are independent of Cobra. So maybe Zartan, Destro, and Major Bludd all exist in this universe, but instead they’re unaffiliated with Cobra so the Joes can have multiple adversaries. Hire a writer that will keep things fast-paced and fun (no political commentary). Maybe give Hama a Creative Consultant or Editor title to add credibility. Covers should correlate with the story inside (no pinup-style covers save for #1). And, lastly, I vote for Netho Diaz to draw the first 60 issues or so. ;)
I quit reading the extended Hama-verse some time back because it just seemed too worn out to me. The idea of keeping these post-Vietnam/1980s characters as if they are still in their prime just doesn't work for me.
I say reboot the whole thing, and draw upon elements of both the comic and the cartoons that worked best (kind of like DDP). I like your idea of incorporating issue 1 back into the story and having Issue 21 still as a "silent" issue - you've got to get out of my head! because that's a lot like what I would do if I ever get the time to work on a photonovel/dio-story.
The only thing I disagree with is keeping the team at 13. Maybe you could keep a core team at 13, but also work in other supporting members like Ace, Wild Bill, Heavy Metal, etc. (mostly vehicle drivers). Also, I would not make Hawk one of the 13. He would be outside of the core team as the Executive Commander. So, who would your core 13 be (I haven't read all the posts yet, so forgive me if you've answered this). Mine would be (not in any order):
1. Flint (Squad Leader)
2. Stalker (First Sgt)
3. Roadblock (Machine Gunner)
4. Dial-Tone (Communications)
5. Torpedo (SEAL)
6. Snake Eyes (Commando)
7. Gung-Ho (Marine/Grenadier)
8. Ripcord (HALO/Airborne)
9. Clutch (Vehicle Driver)
10. Low Light (Sniper)
11. Beachhead (Ranger)
12. Ambush (Recon)
13. Lady Jaye (Intelligence - and to break up the stag party)
