Sorry, pal. That's the delusion that's bogged down the title.
I do agree with AWOL that Hama's run is impressive. He Stan Lee'd the heck out of the title. |

My interest starts to fade in the 70s. I think I begrudge the fact that they didn't spend more time on the Cobra Island/Serpentor/Zartan infiltrating The PIT arc. That era fascinated me. I'd still love to see it in an animated film.
I also just noticed that if the Z and T in Zartan are swapped, another famous character comes to life. |

Wasn't talking to the perceived quality of the writing, just to the longevity.

My point is, I think Hama can continue to shine, but I hope the new publisher supports him with better direction and a budget that can support a strong art team. |

The delusion is that you can't have a Joe book you enjoy being published so long as you know somebody, somewhere is also still enjoying new stuff by Hama that you don't like. The delusion is that Hama has to stop before they can publish a book you like better. That's just silly. There is one product that some fans still want that only one man can create: Joe books written by Larry Hama. There is something that other fans want that Larry Hama can't make: Joe books not written by Larry Hama. And some people even want both. As long as both of those are selling enough to make it worth it, it's silly to think they shouldn't co-exist. They should stop coexisting only when people don't want enough of one of them.

Again, Hama turns 74 in less than two weeks. Also again, if he's the best option, the title doesn't deserve to go forward with a new publisher. I'm likely outnumbered in this view, so I'll double-down and add that I also think the ol' Living Legend probably made it so miserable to work with him if he didn't get his way that people gave up and just let him do what he wanted. No evidence of that, but creatives and elder gents can be ... prickly ... as they age. Or, he has a share in the franchise and they can't buck him. |

The idea that a new publisher fought for the rights to Joe comics solely for the right to publish more Larry Hama is silly.
They unquestionably had their own ideas for the line, too. Whatever announcement we get it at comic con, it will certainly be Hama AND something.
