Congrats, you just discovered capitalism! Remember, if they release a comic that does nothing but tonguebath the 80s cartoon, that's also an attempt to appeal to certain groups + increase sales. (Well, to be entirely fair, featuring Chromedome and Rewind as a couple was initially a risk - fandom does seem split on the matter. That, and writing stories that sell well isn't inherently negative.)1984forever wrote:Also IDW has included more female and homosexual Transformers to appeal to those groups to increase sales, nothing more. They're being used.
At the start of ex-RID #45 Jetfire says "Kup, Arcee. About time you got back." Of course, that isn't definitive, but I think it's the best we've got in regards to specifically tying SotW to a specific issue instead of "sometime before they lose the Ark, but after Combiner Wars".ZeroWolf wrote:A question- where does this and the last stand of the wreckers fit timeline wise?

They're getting paid. So get over yourself.

LSOTW is one of my favourite TF comics of all time (having read everything from Marvel 84 onwards) and while I can appreciate that SOTW is entirely different in terms of pacing and action,I still find it a worthy 'spiritual' sequel. I see the characters considering the consequences of war and their conduct during the conflict (maybe not Guzzle) and I feel that it is handled well. We have a shed load of new and interesting characters, the return of a fan favourite in Springer and even more intrigue and depth to the enigma that is Prowl. Personal taste aside, I find it really disturbing that people bitch about a fembot - whose character has been very well defined in the IDWverse, yet still allowed to develop/regress in a realistic (to me )way - just because she's a fembot. Even worse is the hate and homophobic crap. To me, it is incredible to view characters I've loved for years, in a new (and modern) way. Entertainment has always ridden the wave of the zeitgeist and finally the world is in a strong enough place for amazing,creative writers and artists to be free to express their inclusive world views in almost every niche they can. If you can be upset about a couple of gay, fictional, alien robots, that really don't want to hurt anyone (Domey is trying to quit the needles) you might be the one that is a wrong'un.
Can't wait for Wednesday and thoughts go out to Mr Roche. The creative mind is a powerful thing. TAAO!

The post is great, and I agree. Just one note - even in single hardcopies, Deviations sold fewer copies.Dr Va'al wrote:Sure, here. From Comichron.

MTMTE # 50 which was supposed to be released in FEB sold over 10,000. Deviations which was a March release, beat MTMTE #51 (8124) which was also released in March. 2000 readers lost in 2 weeks, wow. The whole SOTW is just another nail in the coffin.

I'm going to disagree, but certainly you can have your opinion!
