Yes, please, enlighten us feeble-minded simpletons as to what felonies this comic has committed by giving life to a character that the general public decided upon.Va'al wrote:Vicalliose wrote:Kinda wish I had the capacity to go and get me a copy right away.

Pray do tell.

Would you put it past Starscream to do that just to make someone uncomfortable?

Not too surprised that this reviewed so well but I'm willing to bet there will be a lot of people not liking it much. There is just too much in the way of "black & white" in the attitudes of many Transformers fans so something new is usually a hard sell with them. I'm all on board with this new mini-series though. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I think that the harshest opinions will fare from the readers who are not big fans of the recent IDW stuff (and by recent I mean the past two years, MTMTE and RID). This is good comics stuff, and in the same vein as the two ongoings - but with enough of its own voice to stand as its own thing.
EDIT: Also, what Sabrblade said up there. The fear of IMPOSED CHANGE, FORCED PROGRESSION, HAMMERED GOODNESS loom over a small but vocal minority of readership in comics, not just the robot ones.
Va'al wrote:Yes, good point, also true.
Heart of Darkness comes to mind, with its fairly important story in the Chaos build-up, and its utterly abysmal visual power.
I was blinded by my complete and utter adoration of the colours of Stone's work, and focused mostly on the content in my point above.
What about going after a print copy?xyl360 wrote:I was actually going to purchase a digital copy of this because I wanted to see more of Windblade and how her design turned out, particularly in alt mode, but sadly I'm running a PC (Windows 7, not 8/8.1) and my only option for viewing legit digital copies of this is iTunes, and since I f***ing HATE iTunes, I have no options that I can stomach.

Doesn't Comixology have a web-based reader?
