Spotlight: Drift looks better than I expected, but as I see, his role is what originally Springer had...

I like the art in Spotlight Drift, i want to see that woman doing more comic art.

Liking the different setting for the opening of Spotlight Drift, Art looks good, IDW have found another talented artist to add to their ranks.

Hopefully the writing can match the art, but after the shambles that was Blurr, but I am not hopeful.

I like the part in the Drift preview that expounds on Sideswipe's diatribe in AHM #9. The Autobots arent heroes throughout the galaxy but rather the entire race of Cybtronians are hated for what their war has done to many worlds.
