Oh sure. I have no problem with most of it existing in the same universe. G.I Joe works, ROM works and MASK SHOULD have worked. I admit, I've not read Micronauts but I really don't like the idea of Visionaries. If they existed by themselves, they would probably be fine.

It's kind of like having constant focus and anxiety over things that we are already dealing with in real life. I watch the news, I am aware of these issues. I want to take a break from them and have a little fun with comics. I want action, adventure, favorite characters and fun! I don't mind some heavy themes, stories that make us ask the hard questions or a little bit of politics now and again. But as a constant recurring theme, it's not for me.

Fact = fact when it's garbage.

Fixed it for you

Really? Now you're going to pick a fight with an administrator? I can only give you a warning, but hopefully he bans you. You contribute nothing to the discussion and are just trolling.

arguing is wrong now?

God forbid.

No one was picking a fight, except it seems him with me. Apparently you're only allowed to agree with the majority here.

How is telling you that your opinion does NOT equal fact picking a fight? Reading into too much there mate.

You're more than welcome to disagree with peoples opinions, but do it without resorting to insults as you've been doing.

I'm just over the whole socio-political statements they sneak in.

Comics are supposed to be an escape from reality, not a platform for an individuals opinion.

Wait ... did a staff member just say something negative about IDW? Yeah, sorry but your first statement is in fact incorrect. Staff are divided on these books as much as members.

All opinions are welcome, be it for or against, just accept and respect the opinions of those that don't agree with you. We can disagree in a civilised manner.

- Ten legitimately upset me. A somewhat 'positive' shock value death.
- Some of the humour used throughout felt like it didn't always land, or at least gave the feeling of jittery giggles to cover everything not being good.
- Probably one of the better Rodimus issues so far.
- Whirl is still great.
- Following both points above, probably also one of Lawrence's strongest work, also thanks to silent opener , Rodimus and Whirl moments (Ratchet too)


But mostly:

- Very innnnnteresting lettering work on dead and death - may or may not be of significance that it can't really be repeated in same way too often. I actually went through and looked at it, and between bold, italics, regular, fancy lettering and highlights, there is only one actual repetition of the word dead or died. Visual font humour has been used this prominently sparingly before, such as The Scavengers, so this stood out to me!

That humor really is a little jarring. Not that it’s bad per se, but’s it’s almost like it’s covering the story’s tracks or making up for a couple empty moments. But that’s just a small complaint of mine, there’s so much good happening now in LL, finally.

Truthfully, I don’t think anything is what it seems. Not Getaway finding “Cyberuoptia” (lookin way different than its supposed appearance with skids in issue 21 I think), not anything happening in Skip. And now we have even more mystery in the Grand Architect/Scorponok/Knight House stuff.

Not to mention, the Worldsweeper crashes into the White House in OP’s vision in All Hail Optimus. Even with all this potential IDW-ending stuff coming up maybe, I think ultimately Lost Light is going to come back around to significant importance and tie everything off.

Part of the reason why I started not liking the later MTMTE and LL is because the impact on the overall TF universe felt so much less, like everything else is almost happening in a totally different universe.
