I'm really, really tired of the Hama fans playing up his work for FAR more than it is.
I just binged the entire run up to about 5 issues ago from #1 to #284 or so. Only about issue #1-19 are solidly good, with s a few issues of the marvel run in the middle showing some promise, then promptly falling on their face (Cobra civil war, and near the end off the run where Billy, Destro, and Barnoess were finally starting to get some character devleopment). The IDW Hama run has been pretty uniformly bad. There are worse comic series done by Marvel, but Joe is down there at the bottom. I'm unsurprised that it's selling poorly.
The Cartoons were a loss leader because they were meant to be a loss. They're 30-minute toy commercials that should have been coming out of a marketing budget. Those are always a loss.
That being said, Hama's filecards were always enjoyable, and I think that proves where his strength is - worldbuilding.
I'm looking forward to this series, as long as they keep Larry Hama and his lazy brand of 'military accuracy' as far as possible from it.
Oh, my. That's quite the take.
