The "Murder by Assassination" issues felt like a new "season" and breathed some life into the line. For a bit. The main storylines of the IDW relaunch has always seemed to circle back to the "techno ninjas" stuff that Hama seems to love: Brainwave Scanner, Blue Ninjas/Revanche, and Snake-Eyes.
I also liked:
-The "Special Missions" and "Untold Tales" arcs.
-The story with Major Bludd, Lady Jaye and Chuckles in Southeast Asia
-The arc in Sierra Gordo with the Terror Dromes and Grunt, circa issue 195-199.
-The "Secret Origin of Dr. Venom" issue.
I'm probably forgetting a few, but the rest I can take 'em or leave 'em.
We don't know anything about #301 and beyond at this point except that Larry stated last month that he was writing #301 for the new publisher, which suggests to me that we'll see it sooner rather than later. January solicits are next month--maybe we'll know something then.
Most of the issues you like are the single issue stories as opposed to the arcs. I agree--this is Hama's strength and I hope the next publisher plays to that. Arcs tend to be problematic for Hama's page-to-page writing style. Arcs need to be planned out and Larry doesn't plan.
The problem I have with many of those issues you list, however, is the really bad art. I really hope that the new publisher is committed to employing a great artist.
