More nonsens will happen in 6 issues...
I really don't get this comment. Even AHM-lovers agreed that the first 6 issues were way too slow-paced. And then it looked like McCarthy wanted to solve everything in the following 6 issues, by doing lots of weird things without a real explanation:
* Prime being as good as dead, Ratchet not being sure if they'd be able to repair him... and Prime being all healthy and cheerful just a few pages later (not even in the next issue).
* The autobots having little to no energy at all, and all of a sudden being able to fight the swarm and then fly to Earth to fight the decepticons too! So all they needed from the beginning of the series was just a transport?
* Prime not being able to kill Megatron for millenia, yet a single shot by a human (yeah, the weapon was based on Shocwave's cannon... oh please) put the tyrant to rest?
* "I don't know what to do with this human character Furman worked on, perhaps with a purpose and all that... Oh yeah, I'll kill him, that will look big, and tragic, and original. Oh wait, it didn't".
Anyway. While I'd like to read more original-G1 comics by Furman, it would be a pity that the IDW-verse started sooo nicely (with what I think it was a more mature take on the war and the characters, by Furman of course) only to become a dull ongoing with quite a cartoony aproach to plots... and then have Furman continue the original G1 run that he'd most definitely write in a more mature way than 20 years ago (so it would be like Infiltration-Escalation-etc). I mean... come on, you know what I'm trying to say, right? Doesn't it sound a bit absurd?
Oh boy, sorry for my english.
