Ok...I get the part where Dreamwave comics went under, but I'm curious why some people think its taboo to talk about them. Why are people shying away from talking about them? Honestly, Dreamwave produce some of the best transformers comics to date (art-wise). Remember, Don, guidi, and a sprew of other artists made their name through them. So, I'm curious. Can someone enlighten me as to why we're not supposed to talk about them. I had a short relapse in comics and year and when I came back, my transformers comics stopped. Why? Someone tell me why. I want to know! I detail. Thank you

I didn't know it was taboo. I'm not really into comics at all these days (and haven't been since I was in middle school many years ago, and even then I wasn't reading TF comics), but I did really enjoy their take on Beast Wars that they did for Botcon etc. I really wanted to see that story continued.

I like what they did (or at least what I've seen of what they did) much better than IDW, but I'm kinda on the anti-IDW side of things I guess, if only because they seem to humanize the characters far too much (though understandably given the fact that they have to make stories compelling enough to last hundreds of issues so it's par for the course with comics I guess).

Why is it taboo?

Is it?

Isn't it more along the lines of Pat Lee being a pariah?

I don't even know who that is (shows what I know ).

Outcast, you'll hear that especially in Indian communities.

Does it have something to do with Matt Moylan's Dream-Slaves articles?

Where'd you get the idea that the subject was "taboo"?

It's not taboo, just really old news. I enjoyed most of their stories especially their War Within, which at the time was the first look into Pre-G1 mythos that the fandom really had. But due to egos, and money (or lack thereof) they folded like origami.

Most long time fans were about when all this went down and there were discussions abound during the time. But now there's very little to talk about that cannot be found on TFWiki, so what's the point?

I just thought it was. Cuz sometimes someone brought up Dreamwave, another person post something like, "lets not talk about them!" And lots of things like "oh, Dreamwave?" I'm not anti-IDW or anything, but their first impression of transformers when they took the helm kind of turned me away. Too human-centric and the art was plain. Background has very little details and the robots were kind of plain. I guess the new stuff is getting better (with Don, Guidi, wildman,etc). Hopefully it gets better. I'll give them a second chance. I mean, I love all that is transformers and the comics are what makes the character come alive.

You'd be better off discussing it in the Cartoon and Comic forum.
