The Hollywood bump is all it takes to pull a property out of obscurity, and IDW is showing what an updated Visionaries might look like by bringing it back in comics. December’s Visionaries Vs. Transformers pits a forgotten property against one of the world’s biggest, and IDW is making a smart move introducing this new version of Visionaries by attaching it to a far more popular franchise.
Even smarter is teaming Magdalene Visaggio, writer of the Eisner Award-nominated Kim & Kim, with artist Fico Ossio to put their own fresh spin on the characters as they introduce them on the Transformers’ home planet of Cybertron. “”As someone who grew up on a host of Hasbro/Sunbow animated shows, I’m very excited to help revive Visionaries for modern audiences,” says Visaggio. We’ve worked hard to keep it fresh enough for new readers, but faithful enough to the source material for old fans. It has all the same scheming wizards, dastardly villains, and flawed heroes of the original, but with a stunning new twist.” Ossio adds: “I’m very excited to be working on Visionaries and teaming up with Mags and [editor] Sarah [Gaydos]! Happy to be able to update them for a new generation! Mags’ script is really great and I can’t wait to have them stand against the Transformers.”

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

No interest in the series at all. Getting really comic booked out lately thanks to repeated confusing crossovers and other rubbish coming into the transformers series I have loved the past several years

...Y'know, I could say something about how this "chocolate in my peanut butter" attitude is nonsense
Daniel Adkins wrote:or how these crossovers have resulted in me discovering cool franchises I wouldn't have otherwise. I could point out that you don't have to buy or read any of the crossovers, or even address how your comment about "new or failing brands" is incredibly insulting to people who are longtime fans of some of those other franchises (like me).
But my time is probably better spent doing literally anything else, so I won't.

Maybe this is just me as a long-time comics reader, but I disagree with this idea. Even just looking at, say, exRID to Optimus Prime. You can go from exRID #57 to OP #1 and the only thing that you might wonder about is how Mainframe knows Soundwave. Hardly an important plot detail. Plus, we live in the digital age, where anyone can go to a Wiki page or forum and find out what they missed if they really feel they need to. As for the other books? TAAO was completely unaffected by Revolution. MTMTE/LL (with the exception of Dark Cybertron) ignores everything. Heck, ROM Vs. TF is completely separate from anything, taking place 200 years in the past. Even for OP, they're keeping that series going through the events of First Strike.
Honestly, the only books that are seriously affected by crossovers are all the NON Transformers books. ROM #5? Opens with a page of Rom leaving Autobot City. Micronauts #7? The Micronauts are captured after the fight with Karza. M.A.S.K. spun out of Revolution. G.I. Joe now has Skywarp and Dire Wraiths running around. But the Transformers books? At best you could argue they have some military guys that aren't our previous military guys.
I think this is what D-Max and others have been trying to say. We've given this all a chance and are open to these other franchises. If the output isn't as good as what we were getting, which it is not, then negative reactions are going to occur.Rodimus Prime wrote:Enough with the crossovers already. Is IDW ever gonna focus on their declining quality of Transformers books? Having them be involved in another universe is not a bad thing
Daniel Adkins wrote:What is the actual decline in quality you guys keep referencing? Because I've yet to see anyone in this thread make a complaint about an actual Transformers book that doesn't boil down to just "things that aren't robots are dumb."
I find Optimus Prime to be as enjoyable as RID ever was. TAAO was a fantastic series that I wish more people had bought so that it could continue to happen. Lost Light sadly continues the spiral downward from MTMTE, but that began back in MTMTE Season 2. But, I still find it okay and am willing to pick it up and hope Roberts can recover. Revolutionaries has been a fun ride from beginning to end that delves into the deepest lore in this universe and revisits concepts that I never expected to see again. ROM Vs. Transformers is incredible and I dare say will be remembered as one of the definitive stand-alone Transformers stories, right up there with LSOTW.
So please, tell me. What am I missing here?

Honestly I've given up on the hasbroverse and IDW, identity politics had taken over just like Marvel Comics.
