also does the DW line tie into the comics and cartoon movie?
zacher2004 wrote:yeah i meant the 86 one. The owner of some comic shop here is told me that it took place between the season 2 and the movie, but it didn't add up while reading it, especailly the second series.

Character driven and with lots of depth and plots within plots. Sort of reminds me of Dune in some respects. As an added bonus after the whole DW debarcle the G1 universe is safely back in the hands of Mr Furman where it belongs.

Everything else is gold.

Glyph wrote:As Bigchin rightly identified them, Marvel UK and early Marvel US hold a special place for me as they were pretty much 'my' Transformers for so many years. I didn't watch much of the cartoon and thought most of what I watched was silly; I completely missed Beast Wars the first time around, as it certainly wasn't shown any time I was watching TV; but I still got by on fond memories and re-readings of old comics.
But now... I almost hate to say it, but IDW are slowly usurping their place as the most detailed and compelling version of Transformers ever done. Almost, but of course that admission is hardly a bad situation in itself!
If IDW can sustain their quality over anything even approaching the period the Marvel series spanned, they're set to be damn near untouchable.

And I thought the art in the movie adaptation was pretty good. If you can draw movie Megatron or movie anybody, more power to you.
Bigchin wrote:Milne's Transformers aren't bad, admittedly, although I don't like his style. But he just cannot draw humans and his storytelling is a train wreck. The fact that you have to read his stuff more than once just to understand what's going on says it all.

Glyph wrote:Milne's 'portrait'-style pieces, such as the establishing shot of the Senator on his shuttle, are great - crisp, clear and detailed. It's just his action panels that seem to go haywire.
Glyph wrote:However, I don't think this is entirely Milne's fault - a lot of it seems to be down to Perez' somewhat over-rendered colouring.
Bigchin wrote:It was the same with a lot of the Dreamwave stuff - pretty posters, and the comics looked stylish if you flicked through them, but try and follow the story and your eyes bled.
