Just trying to gauge whether this Energon Universe is going to have decade-long staying power or be done in by embezzlement in 2 years. Sorry for the pessimism about great sales, it'll just be a while before I can afford to get the trades and see for myself.

I’m having a blast writing it now and Jorge [Corona] and Mike [Spicer] are absolutely slaying the art. I am going to be writing for a total of 24 issues.
We’re keeping it strictly g1.
Mike [Spicer] is a wonderful, stand up guy. He’s incredible to work with and I haven’t even touched on his coloring abilities!!!!
I’ve said it before but it still holds true today! The 1986 animated movie is the thing that still captivates me EVERY TIME I SEE IT. AGHHHH MY FOOT

Well, hopefully good. They could manage to find someone worse, somehow.
The simplest explanation I can give without writing an essay is that, to me, it's just plain old not very good. The art is not to my taste. The pro wrestling action is a joke. The constant attempts to homage other mecha franchises shows a lack of creativity, though tbf those have ebbed almost entirely as it has gone on. The characters, outside of Optimus and probably Beachcomber, have very little going on, or are inconsistent. The plot barely exists, there is no long term plan and for something that's meant to be the linchpin of a wider universe it barely feels connected.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:ScottyP wrote:Good.

May I ask why you despise this run so much? It is genuinely so good, I'm curious.

If the Decepticons had that much power, why didn't they annihilate the Autobots already? Perhaps they are simply enjoying a prolonged conflict and inflicting misery upon anyone within reach.
A large slice of Cybertron fell into the ocean. That would've caused an apocalypse on Earth: towering tsunamis, earthquakes, firestorms, etc.

This needs a MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT and added nothing to the conversation!

No problem with discussing it, but you can refer to it obliquely for people who already know or just use the tags to hide the new information. Or start a "Skybound Transformers #12 discussion - SPOILER THREAD" if you want, so people who haven't read it yet can avoid it.
Not everyone gets to buy/read stuff immediately - spoiler tags are just common courtesy.
"attempt to suppress free speech" ... seriously, touch some grass.
