I personally dislike it when Nick Roche forgets Drift's nose but I won't be nasty about it. Also - why give Drift no nose and Rodimus a different nose in each picture? I can either get hung up on flaws/things I dislike (Considering different artists have different ideas about what a character looks like) or I can enjoy the comics for what they are.
Then again things could be MUCH worse. Back when I used to read Sonic comics there was an artist I could not stand - not going to name names but here is how he drew Sonic and Tails :
I shudder to think about that artist drawing Transformers![]()
Either way, I really like that cover of Magnus being all badass. I know my GF is going to want the photo reel one because it's got her favorite characters. So I'll not grump to her about robot noses so long as she is happy.
I'm not sure "dislike" is the right word (unless I missed a quote where he outright said that), it's more of the fact that Megatron is such a huge presence in the overall Transformers mythos and in the history of IDW's universe that he inherently takes focus when present. Since Megatron came into the book, most of the stories have been about Megatron. Even the anticipated direction of 7-11 is going to be very much due to Megatron. Having him out of the picture for awhile allows the author to get back to story threads for characters like Drift, Chromdome, Whirl, Nautica, and hopefully even some of the great recurring minor roles like those occupied by the Scavengers, Blaster, and Bluestreak.Windsweeper wrote:I still love this series. I think the art is fine. I didn't realise James Roberts disliked Megatron.

if it IS true then its quite simply amazing roberts has managed to do such a good job elevation megs to near magneto levels of depth.
personally i think your interpretation is right.
Yeah as soon as I saw that hole I could only think "well, I know how this is going down" and it ended up more brutal than I could've imagined.MrBlack wrote:Just read #7. It's a great issue and a wonderful epilogue to the first arc (and setup for the next), but it is really going to upset a certain subsection of the fanbase.

The resurrection of lug is a joke, the conversation between nightbeat and brainstorm is so meta it's borderline insulting and ridiculous. This issue as written and drawn well before 6 even came out and you can just tell James was saying "people are going to have a problem with this so I'm going to make it tongue and cheeky" it's not cute and it wasn't funny. It's lazy. It's not only lazy it's full of problems. The wand takes you to a pocket location in their universe. It shouldn't bring you right back to where you left and where is killmaster? He should have reappeared the second they all showed up...

The first arc was about the cliff hanger from the previous season, this one lets us know specifically where the characters are heading and sets up the drama that makes MTMTE and Lost Light so beautiful. That one act by Fangryis going to be something that will hopefully pay ff big time in the conclusion. I know that each issue from here on out, I will be wanting to know whether Tailgate will endure.

Kurona wrote:Optimus Prime, TAAO and even Revolutionaries to an extent are overtaking Lost Light
For sales of print copies from Diamond (distributor) to comic shops (not readers!), in the US, LL5 did about 6,600 copies. MTMTE 5 did about 11,600 back in May of 2012.Quint wrote:Does anyone have any indication of sales figures for LL so far, and how they compare to MTMTE?
Apparently the true barometer is the performance of the trades but I'd still be keen to learn from anyone ITK.

THE HUNT IS ON! Ever lost something and spent forever looking for it? Try visiting Troja Major, the lost property capital of the universe. Just bear in mind that it's better known by another name: the Howling Town. And the Autobots are about to find out why.
