It is just me, or is that thing just a tiny bit reminiscent of the Matrix?

Her mascara is bleeding. Pretty scary looking. Either that is the Matrix & she's gone insane w/power like Scourge, or her spark is nuts. Either way, Arcee is having issues here.....

I prefer the original cover, but this cover does a great job of making it appear as though Arcee will be one tortured spark out for some vengeance...

by **ThunderThruster** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 5:43 pm

i think she's suffering from P.M.T.
Post Massacitic Tension!
i concur that the other cover was much nicer

Makes me think of a very weird cross between SHODAN from System Shock and the Lady of Pain from the D&D Planescape setting.

It's also way too over-the-top for my tastes.

(But then, I have to admit that I find the whole Arcee as Psycho Creation idea uninteresting anyway, based on what info we've been told so far.)

If I thought it was disturbing before, I'm scared shitless now. I'm being reminded of an actual human being dismembered like that and...I feel a wee bit sick... :SICK:

You stole my joke.

She looks like someone is doing brain surgery on her. Character wise, it looks great, and has pursuaded me to get this issue, but it will be the other cover with the other folks on it. Much nicer looking.

I was gonna buy it..but..if this is what i'm staring at, pass.

by **justynnbailey** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 2:17 pm

This actually makes me want this book more. It's very interesting take on what I thought was a very boring character.

Agreed, emo is whinny not dark. The pansy evolution of goth

To quote a figure I admire, "New package, same product, LOOSERS"

I will say this much though, I use to work with Mike Way and his brother before his band hit. Besides steal, all we ever did was talk about Transformers.

Raw.

I might buy for the cover alone.

by **imotron** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 11:50 am

Impressive art work... even when it hurts seeing my dear Arcee scrambled

by **skyshadowprimus** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 2:28 pm

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the cover with Arcee's face has a striking resembalance to the G2 Decepticon logo, with the ears and the part above her head it fits in nicely.

Coinsidence, insanity on my part or subtle hint of the links to J'hiaxus origins from Marvel??
