Here is arguably Hama's best work at IDW.

I lost interest some time after the Cobra civil war. I remember Snake Eyes' backstory got out of hand to where every single member of Cobra High Command had a connection to his past. There were so many ninjas everywhere Firefly was eventually retconned into one. Road Pig was depicted as some bizarre parody of the Hulk - a dull, hulking brute one minute, a Shakespearean poet laureate the next. Then the Transformers showed up. In regular Joe continuity. On top of all this ridiculous nonsense the art was becoming increasingly godawful and even painful to look at.
The only bright spots I can recall during the twilight years of the comic were the Joe casualties (which I didn't even agree with but it was at least compelling) and Snake Eyes'letter to Sean Collins in the very last issue. |

Well. Originally I saw it through to the end. I even came back with devils due etc.
talking just about Hama I no longer have the idw ones from 155 onwards because they rapidly became at best dull and at worst …just terrible The original run dipped after the war issues and even the firefly revelations were mixed but once we got to megatron and ninja force front and centre it was hard to read and now when I read them I don’t read those. I would say after the cobra civil war it started to really dip. Snake eyes the origin was too interconnected and even the war was a flick back up for just a few issues. Sadly the new new series is just so far away from where it started that I can’t get involved with it. The sci fi elements were always hard to swallow but as a kid I went with it

I recently caught up on everything after the Marvel run and I really enjoyed it. It's all in line with what it always was. I know some people want it to be some R rated Platoon type shit, but it never was and never should be. I thought the death of Snake Eyes, introduction of Throwdown and Dawn Moreno sounded stupid when I read the synopsis here, but the actual comics are good. Throwdown is a better version of Sean than Kamakura ever was. The funeral issue was really well done too. They key is to read them with the enthusiasm of a 9 year old, not as a middle aged guy.
