the Genius of Larry Hama

[Peyton Westlake]

Larry Hama is, IMO, the DEFINITIVE Wolverine writer.

Rucka proved to be a close second.

Claremont was influenced greatly from working with Frank Miller on the original mini, and it shows.

Claremont pointed things in the right direction, but I think Hama took the ball and ran with it.

The Hama/Kubert stuff made Wolverine the icon he's become.

I couldn't agree more.

I loved Hama's Wolverine. I only read a few GI Joe comics, but I Hama's version is pretty much who I think of when I think "Wolverine." Silvestri was penciling for most of his run, right? With Albert and Dee and all that fun stuff?

You have to think of Hama laying the groundwork with Wolverine, he was Logan's unofficial godfather in a sort of ways.

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Larry Hama got lots of kids into comics with GI Joe, for that alone he should be respected.

I know I would not have read back issues of 'Joe' ,after reading his work in Wolverine, if it was another writer scripting 'Joe'.

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Since the wolverine movie is going to be made, it would be nice to know Larry had some input on it.

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Larry Hama wrote alot of Wolverine`s stories,he`s argubilly the best Wolverine writer besides Chris Claremont.

Would be nice if he was consulted for the new Wolverine movie.

This is the guy responsible for destroying Generation X. He was an absolutely horrible and dreadful writer on the book.

Hama is now writing G.I. Joe: Origins for IDW Publishing.

I thought his writing on most books was top notch

Is good news, always thought he was under rated.

I never knew he wrote an episode for MASH....i'll have to look it up now,lol

 

[K.B.]

Sorry my mistake I should have elaborated for non-fans...he didn't write an episode, he starred in it. Hama was an actor for a bit.

Oh man, I must see this episode now...

In 2006, Osprey Publishing announced that Hama had been commissioned to write for their "Osprey Graphic History" series of comic books about historical battles, including the titles The Bloodiest Day—Battle of Antietam, and Surprise Attack—Battle of Shiloh (both with artist Scott Moore) and Fight to the Death: Battle of Guadalcanal and Island of Terror—Battle of Iwo Jima (with artist Anthony Williams).

In February 2008, Devil's Due Publishing published Spooks, a comic book about a U.S. government antiparanormal investigator/task force. Hama created the military characters and R.A. Salvatore the monster characters.[19] He was also the writer of DDP's Barack the Barbarian series, a Conan the Barbarian parody starring U. S. President Barack Obama.

On September 19, 2012, Hama released his three-part vampire novel entitled The Stranger.[20]

On December 17, 2012, Hama portrayed himself in a Christmas-themed episode of the Adult Swim series Robot Chicken.[citation needed] As of Jan 2014, he is collaborating with award-winning filmmaker Mark Cheng on an original film project, called Ghost Source Zero.[21][22]

In August 2014, Red Giant Entertainment announced that Larry Hama is writing the company's new Monster Isle monthly series debuting in November

Why not have him pen the new installment of GI Joe movie? I cant believe they havent even thought to try. Or maybe he can reboot the whole thing.
