'Lo all, I'm back (I have a habit of vanishing)
I've not seen a thread about this latest issue yet so I figure I'll get the ball rolling on it:
SPOILERS AHEAD - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNEDFirst off glad to see the team of Figueroa and Burcham back for the art, loved the look and colours of the whole issue. And a special shout-out to Don for making my two new favourite characters kick-aft Cybertronian forms. In
Ascending #2 we only saw Big Convoy's robot mode but now we see his alt mode, and man is it sweet (Can you say huge gun-totting spider tank!). Plus for some reason I totally dig Cohrada's cybertronian form, dunno why but I really do.
Of course Furman provides us with a great story and script, the immediate clif-hanger from issue #2 (Razorbeast being stung by Rartorata) is dealt with fairly swiftly but not before we see Shokaract start to cut loose (Much to the chagrin of Elephorca and Drancron). I felt Magmatron had a kind of background feel to him this time, more so than before, as he never takes a direct role in this issue but merely narrating some scenes...found that a bit odd.
The final bit I have to say about the issue is there is something bugging me about the arrival of Shokaracts remaining followers with the rest of the Angolmois energy. You've got Jawbreaker, Antagony, Hellscream, Hardhead and one who I just can't pin point but if someone could tell me who it is I'll be grateful.
So what did you lot think?
