For Primus's sake, the art and the coloring/shading is terrible, I can barely take out the characters.

I'm liking the story, I'm liking the dialogue "I'm looking at you Swerve..." LOL. I'm just really not digging the art. As the art for a one-off Spotlight issue? Sure. But as a stretch of issues within the ongoing? No, it's just not working I'm afraid. I'm open to a lot of interpretations and experimentation within art forms (hell, I'm an art teacher for crying out loud) but when your business is to tell clear, visual stories then you really don't want to be polarising your audience this much. Having said that, IDW have made a bit of a habit in fan polarisation. Yeah, I'm looking at you McArthy and All Hail Megatron...

The art fits the tone, but I really miss Milne.

personally,this chaos gets worse & worse. having characters come out of nowhere at the very last minute during the final epic battle IS STORY TELLING AT IT'S WORSE.
I really dis-like how IDW pumps up their TF comics stories months in advance but every time it fails to live up to the hype.
hopefully we at the very least get a in-depth origin before 2011 ends on the D-VOID,,like where it came from,what history does it have with TF. any ties to other TF villains or groups. why the d-void hates the TF's so much & why TF's are so delicious to eat.

By tone you mean "no one can really tell what the hell is going on"?
That last panel with Megatron ... I really can't make out that it's Megatron, if it wasn't for the storyline i'd think it just a big blotch on the page.

I'm glad at the very least to see i'm not the only one to be hugely dissapointed by the Choas story. I also find the art equally awful.

By tome I mean you're fighting on your dead planet, how you're (Autobots) not likely going to make it back. I'm not praising Ramondelli's art, but Roberts knows how to write stories.

Art is horrible IMO, and I rarely complain about comic art however I really dont like it. I think it would be great for covers but its too difficult to tell who anyone is and what is going on.

so all the decepticons fall prey to this monster???....megatron's a decepticon.....but he apparently is unaffected...i am sure this will be explained by IDW....badly...i like the artwork...it is so muddled and messy and confusing and bad just like the story...finally i want everyone at IDW to pretend that their left leg is paralyzed and try to step on something with their right leg and after you fall down, stay there.
