Actually, a reboot would probably be the only thing that could get me back into reading the comics. I read all of the first Devil's Due series, and about the first 12 issues of America's Elite, but they didn't strike me as "real" Joe comics. They came across more like fan-fiction that happened to be "official" because they had the license-- Though I feel that way about a lot of Marvel and DC comics today, too.

I was upset that IDW rebooted Transformers, because once they got their act together, Dreamwave's ongoing was the number one comic I looked forward to every month. But IDW couldn't continue those stories even if they wanted to because of Dreamwave's bankruptcy proceedings. So I tried their reboot, and found that I really liked it! Not in the same way as I liked Dreamwave, but the storylines that have been building over the past few years definitely keep me coming back for more.

So, yeah... I trust IDW to reboot this thing properly, and I'll check it out with or without Hama's involvement. Though personally, I would rather not see a complete reboot-- My number one choice would be to disregard all the Devil's Due stuff, and have Larry Hama start writing a new series picking up immediately where Marvel's run ended!
