Close Encounters of the Robocarnivore kind.
When you ask Google what "More the Meets the Eye" means it helpfully tells us "it is the second full-length studio album by Dutch pop and dance singer eliZe, released on June 26, 2009." Hmmm. Jeeves, however, is more helpful:
"What you see is not always what you are getting..."
Much can be learned from this.
What kind of nerd collects model spaceships!?This is the 3rd issue in an ongoing series and, just like the previous issues, it is dialogue driven, fast paced and an
excellent read, but you already knew that as you bought issues 1 and 2 so know what to expect.
Can anyone else not stop staring at his chin?This series' main advantage - focusing solely on a contained group - allows the individual quirks and personalities to shine. It's clearly not an accident that many of the characters featured in this arc have had limited appearances (if at all) in previous books as this allows James Roberts freedom to really flesh out his creations, to nurture and guide them as they react to the perils of being lost in deep space. Incredibly, he still manages to further develop the better known characters, Rodimus being the most obvious example - the brash, impetuous hero willing to take that risk because he knows he really is that good, is a welcome change from his post-AHM petulance and selfishness, and how most will have imagined him for many years whilst being left disappointed until now.
There is so much awesome in these two panels I don't even know where to start!Alex Milne uses his art, attention to detail and ability to set a dramatic scene to compliment the story perfectly, directing your attention to the smaller details such as Tailgate's transformation jam, Brainstorm's short but important scene and the contents of Skid's right hand - explained almost entirely through the art, using visual clues to compliment a story that doesn't require weighty narrative as your eye automatically searches them out.
Ventilation shafts: Expert level plot devices.Where am I going with this you may ask? The clue is in the title. On first glance, MTMTE is a comedic jaunt through space. Rodimus' response to the news of the ship's unwanted guest and the unlikely Chromedome and Rewind double-act are both executed effortlessly, as are all the light hearted interactions between the various brash and bold Lost Light crew members, but scratch beneath the surface here and there is a much deeper tale to tell with subtleties and hints that, upon closer inspection, show there is definitely more to this comic than just a shallow comedy romp through space – and not just Drift's new 'enlightened' philosophy. Brainstorm's briefcase. Skid's memory gaps. The Duobots' actions in the engine room. Rung's part in ...well, everything.
All these little details cued up and ready to be answered.
You could try asking Michael Bay?In an effort to avoid too big a spoiler, I won’t go into too much detail on the 'Sparkeaters' but for many of you there will be a clear - and no doubt intended - parallel with what is arguably one of the best sci-fi/horror movies ever made. This only serves to further raise the expectations for the series, and I really hope Roberts has this planned to the finest detail, as it would be a tragedy to see the story get lost in the minutiae.
Not pictured: Homer, Barney, Lenny or KarlWithout doubt though, this is a superb comic, entertaining, enthralling, exciting, and certainly
much more than meets the eye.
We have seen from the Singapore convention this past weekend that there looks to be a Swerve in the works using the Generations Kup mold. Y'know what, I don't want that. I'll take the G1 figure over that, and that's because of the excellent writing of this comic.
