Slick artwork is looking good, although I'll never warm up to that stupid looking head on Windblade. Shame since the rest looks great.

For the GI Joe crossover, my favorite is the blank page. Seriously.... those GI Joe crossover pics are horrid. It pains me that this will represent Transformers on free comic book day to those who aren't aware of the awesome stuff that's going on in the other 3 main books.

That was my first thought as well. "These are a joke, right? RIGHT?!?!"

Is there a reason they look like that? Is it a reference to something that I just don't get?

They supposed to resemble the 1960s Silver Age comic style of Jack "The King" Kirby.
