See that comment bugged me in many ways cause I see what it is. Its an old PR tactic to "Kill the messenger" before the messanger is able to give an informed opinion. In other words if the movie is crap, a person after seeing it will be labeled a "socially retarded anal-retentive developmentally arrested proto-adolescent with hostility issues" by those who are the "cheerleaders" who negate the consept that Hama was a paid consultant for the movie (and as such has a vested interest in promoting it, especially since he is trying to promote his own stuff of late).
And as has already been pointed out Hama didn't create GI Joe, he wrote the comic for it, also the comic (while having its great points) is far from perfect itself (IE SNAKE EYES featureing gi joe). I never felt the comic hit any form of stride until the teens and really didn't get its rythumn until aroud 30 or so, even after that there were lull points and even the best talls were marred with horrid dialouge (ie Cobra Civil War Serpy and CC use "Has been" and "better a has been than a never was" in thier arguement that sparks the war).
