Transformers vs New Avengers? Fail.
Infestation? Fail.
Infestation 2? Fail.
Conspiracy? Heading for a fail.
Just stop doing crossovers IDW.

I think I can look past the art if I were truly immersed in the story. However, this writing just seems really wordy, awkward, and above all, corny beyond all reason. I like corn, and have a hard time not associating G.I. Joe or Transformers with some amount of corn, but this is too much. If they could write a believable story, and have better dialogue, I could see myself investing time and money into this series. I just don't think that's going to happen though.

OK, here's a question. Is the art style etc deliberate? Is it a homage that we're meant to be 'diggin'? If so, it's a brave decision.
If not... what the hell?

Being a fan from the 1980's, and being used to that art especially TF UK it looks like retro fun to me.

Re: New IDW Transformers vs G.I. Joe Ongoing to Debut on Free Comic Book Day 2014
I... I really wanted to like this. I still like the art style in places -- the Starscream design on that first splash page looks absolutely killer -- and I even think the Cybertronian speech gimmick is sorta cool. But that dialogue. Holy crow, that dialogue. I mean, I could deal with a certain amount of goofiness or stylization but this ... this is just unreadable. I couldn't even get through the last page.

Guys, this is not supposed to look like a 1980s comics style.
It's supposed to look like a 1960s comics style drawn by Jack "The King" Kirby.

Oh jeesh. Really sad to see this with this poor art style and immature writing ... I had high hopes. Maybe it will get better than this preview.

Art aside, I find the characterization of Starscream and Bumblebee... odd.
Really, I expect better of Barber.
Still, it's free, so I'll undoubtedly pick it up anyway.

I for one am looking forward to this nostalgic romp from Scioli and Barber!
As a fan of the King Kirby, old school Marvel comic books and Transformers, this is right up my street.

Im keen to see how Sciloi's art moves through the books, being an ongoing series too, I wonder if other artists and writer will take over later?
I would absolutely love to see Ted McKeever's take on our favourite robots, wishing he got the gig back on Evolution.
I did a bit more digging and came across some more bits and bobs from Tom Scioli and his take on The Transformers/GI Joe...

The only point I see is I am glad that Kirby did not draw Transformers. And I (this is not a popular thing to some unfortunately) have never been a fan of Kirbys work.

Is IDW trying to sabotage their own sales? I haven't seen TF artwork this bad since the 80's Marvel UK series.

What's with the hate for the marvel uk at? Target 2006 was a masterpiece. Marvel US on the other hand especially Wildman was bad.
Shame they didn't continue Devils due Tf Joe crossovers.

Shut your mouth, they dare put this to paper and have the guts to call it a homage to Jack Kirby?
The GULL.
Kirby Cackle =/= Kirby style artwork.
This is even more insulting than Rob Liefeld's Jack Kirby "tribute".

(not saying everyone I just can hardly find any ok comments among all of the complaining)
I know and agree the arts bad but why are you guys whining about it?
Its not like they are going to stop unless no one buys it.

This series looks insanely bad, to the point where it's "bad good". I'll definitely be checking this out. It definitely contrasts the serious(and awesome)Dreamwave WW11 crossover from years ago, which is my favorite of the crossovers.
