Year in a snapshot gang what do you think of this first maxi-chapter of the new Transformers?
Where do you see the series going from here?
Thats not entirely accurate as the series debuted in Marchthis time last year the Unicron miniseries was lurching to its conclusion and we wondered how Lost Light was going to tie into things but we only had one issue left... And we were kept waiting on the last Optimus Prime issue.

2. 2019 IDW Nautica is completely different, effectively a new character.

Pitre-Durocher did a great job without a lot to work with. Art on this was wonderful but the story, yikes. This story is not good. I've never been so entirely indifferent towards a Transformers story. At least Energon and Revenge of the Fallen had the gumption to just be plain old bad in most ways but at least it was fun to watch the trainwreck.
Ah, right, yes. And it was extremely good. I wanted something like this from the TF relaunch :'( Subversions of the familiar, clever twisty-twists, nods and deep cut references to the past that don't interfere with newbies' enjoyment (like Storm/Jean Grey in HoX 5, I got the point fine from just context and later saw online what it was referencing, which I was totally unfamiliar with.)Ironhidensh wrote:ScottyP wrote:Big day for comics tomorrow.

Actually, it was House of X #5, and it was a doosey.

Also Death's Head 3 had plenty of robot stuff, just not Cybertronian robot stuff, so I was wrong on that point too

AcademyofDrX wrote:It's outside of your timeframe criteria, but I strongly encourage you to read New X-Men written by Grant Morrison. That series came out in 2001-2004, and it is the strongest inspiration for what Hickman is doing. There are many individual scenes in HoX/PoX that directly homage it, and the new book's use of time in its narrative structure mirrors the end of the Morrison run.
New X-Men is also the best X-Men series in its history, and its 4-year continuous story is one of the best in modern superhero comics generally.
AcademyofDrX wrote:I want to talk about this a lot more. If anyone would like it, I can put together a HoX / PoX readers' guide with recommended reading and other background over in the General Discussion forum. I really love this book.
But it's what reading RiD and MTMTE was like, to me, so I think it's completely fair. Doesn't have to be two books or two narratives, I'm hoping for better plotting with a long-game in mind that uses its characters wisely while making the reader care or at least empathize with them so when confluct occurs it has impact.AcademyofDrX wrote:I would adore the TF equivalent of HoX/PoX, but I don't think that's a realistic standard.
Good info, thanks! I have gone into it blindly. I watched the cartoon some in the 90s and read some of the books then but nothing too deep. PoX has been pretty confusing for me but only from the standpoint of not knowing who most of the characters are. The wider plot is still very clear, or at least feels as clear as it could be since I think some of it being muddy is the point. Anyway yeah I'll go look for that other threadAcademyofDrX wrote:william-james88 wrote:About the X-Men, what arcs/runs from the past 5 years would one have to read to best be prepared for this current House of X crossover?
You didn't ask me, but my recommendation would be to start with the 2013-2015 Uncanny X-Men series written by Brian Michael Bendis. The tone is similar, and many of its characters are integral to the new series. That ran for 3 years.

Important to note: It isn't a crossover, it is a reboot.

Wait, what? So like nothing that happened before is cannon to this series? (1)Prof X never had his brain inserted in red skull? (2)Phoenix didn't die? (3)No Emma and Cyclops telepathic affair? (4)Scarlet Witch never said No More Mutants?
