Well...um...I hope I don't get banned for this but...well, after NOT reading the comics for about two years or so (or whenever Devastation started) the movie kinda kicked me off on a new TF binge so...I pretty much downloaded the scans of everything I missed and had a big marathon session. (Note: I still plan on buying the trades. Liked it enough for that anyways...)
But anyways, not having to wait an entire year or so read this whole plot line....I liked it. The changes for the sake of nostalgia pissed me quite the hell off (o hay Spike is back and is all "badass" now...feh) with the quality of human-characters dialogue being kinda all over the place and seemingly changing issue to issue but, like I said, not having to wait for all this **** to drag out, it was a decent roller coaster ride.
That said, waugh...what an AWFUL last issue...
As for Furman...I guess it was just because his stories and plotlines and such had to be wrapped up or whatever but I thought the Dead Universe stuff and the Reapers, while kinda cool, felt...kinda out of nowhere when I read Devastation. Like, there were build ups and such in the spotlights and in the main series and such but they still didn't feel built up enough and felt like they were too forced into what we got in the end...
And I have absolutely no problem with coming up with a bullshit reason for Hunter to come back. I sure as hell didn't mind when Dreamwave did it for Wheeljack or when Furman brought back as many dead guys as he could for the Unicron arc in the old Marvel comic, and I sure wouldn't mind here either.
