Apparently, no one that posted these horrible remarks about this story listened to the HOUR LONG interview that was made available a few weeks ago. AHM has been great. This TransFan is VERY anxious to see how they end this arc and what they are going to do to follow it up. I will proudly stand up for this series and the ambitious direction that Shane McCarthy has decided to take things. I will also say that I totally dug Simon Furman's work and look forward to seeing more.
We should just be glad that a quality Transformers comic series exists, that a highly reputable company publishes it, and that genuine fans are in charge of it. These people have been doing their best to give Transformers the truly EPIC sense of scale that the old Marvel stories attempted at but never quite reached. We have(in most cases) SPECTACULAR art that does the characters justice, and we have stories that explain some of the weirdest(and most nonsensical) parts of the Transformers Mythos.
I say to all the Nay-Sayers and Haters: HATE ON! The Numbers don't lie; the Series has been successful. It seems that Logic would dictate: If you don't like it, you shouldn't read it! But of course, if you stop buying it then there won't be ANY Transformers comics and then you'll be really satisfied, won't you?
...But, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I, for one, will keep buying WHATEVER Transformers Comics there are as long as they keep putting them out. Period.
AHM was most definitely a great story. Mature, unpredictable, Dramatic... I don't know what more people could ask for.

all i can say is AMEN! fans are way too hard on this storyline. ok, to some it may not be perfect but what comic continuity is??!!?? my god what are you comparing it to???? i read almost ALL transformer comic series because im a fiend and i fail to see the epic failure is i keep reading about. no it wasnt what idw/furman was initially was goin for but that doesnt make it horrible. give me ANY transverse comic series and i can pick its flaws as well. If anything we saw some AMAZING Guido work and a DIFFERENT story premise. ive enjoyed Shanes attempt and I look forward to seeing whats next

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

He's got some pretty far-out powers to go along with them, too, including teleportation, the projection of trippy telepathic visions and illusions, and the ability to groove on the language of 98% of all known species. To uses his powers to the fullest, though, he's gotta be feelin' good vibrations; bad karma can seriously harsh his mellow, y'know?

We have the franchise moving in three directions. Two of which, AHM and RoTF, being poorly executed cluster-f***s, log jamming G1 references down our throat succeed, and the innovative refreshing take and direction gets cancelled.
Quite literally disenfranchising.

Yea AHM was more successful then the previous stuff
Devastron wrote:The AHM starts up and, for the first time, an IDW TF comic manages to bring in a greater audience than its predecessor series and hold it, hovering in the 11,000-12,000 range. That is a makred improvement from the Spotlights, Revelations and Maximum Dinobots. So yes actually, AHM was more successful than its predecessors.
