I usuallylike Livio's art, but here it seems like the proportions are off kilter, and the faces are pretty flat. Not his best work IMO.

Might just be me but I love the parts in IDW where the Decepticons are not acting like insane psychopaths or just being evil for the sake of being evil unless their DJD, Overlord, Bludgeon,etc.

The war is over and I like Starscream as a bumbling kinda ally but still a schemer.

I feel like a jerk saying this, but a lot of the time I really don't like Livio Ramondelli's art. He's gotten a lot better at drawing the characters but everything is just too dark and brooding and there's hardly any expression on the characters' faces. That said, it does work in certain contexts where they're going for that dark, mysterious atmosphere. I guess it's just jarring compared to what we usually see.

But anyway, since this is a one-shot I'm hoping it's included in future trade volumes, so I don't have to worry about picking it up so I don't miss anything.
