We are continuing our celebration of the new Transformers Mosaic and Seibertron partnership. So far people have been wanting more, and who can blame them since the each issue of Mosaic is awesome! Today we bring you issue 2, which is titled "Ghost in the Machine". "Ghost in the Machine" is written by George Smrekar (aka GeO), and the artwork is by Eric Allard (aka Herobot)! Enjoy:

Wow, I never saw this one before. Too bad, it's so awesome. Very interesting twist on Counterpunch.

Perhaps we should make a Mosaic category so people will not have to search through all the articles.
Anyway an excellent comic. I have to compliment Mr. Smrekar on his writing skills. This comics brings a whole new life to this underdeveloped character.
I admit Mr. Allard's art is a little too blocky for my taste but it is still quote good. I can only see him improving.

Thats a great effort, so much back story and info on a single comic page.
Love the art style too, something different to what I am used to seeing.

Yeah, that's the great thing about this project, there's so much diversity in the art and story.
There'll be some very different stuff in the next few days....

I realy like this as I just got this figure delivered the other day!
I was planning on using him as a scitzo, and this is a nice piece of backround to the story I'll make for him.

Whoa, this is really, really good and cool. I've always felt that more can be accomplished in a comic if you just use the panels to tell a story and limit the amount of "flash"(like splash pages).
So, this is issue #2? Where's #1? Must have missed 'em.
*edit* never mind, found it by scrolling down.

Creepy! And cool. Punch/Counterpunch is one othe the coolest concepts in Transformers Lore. A Triple Changer with 2 robot modes! Lot's of character room there to explore and dive into. This is yet another testament to that fact. These Mosaic stories are GREAT! I wonder if they all fit into a grand scheme of events somehow...

Nah, not really. A number of them fit into the IDW continuity, but there's no real relation to one piece or another by any specific design.

Counterpunch on August 23rd, 2007 @ 10:30am CDT
I like this. I want to say that first off. It's a good story, with good pacing and cool art.
What bothers me, is that Punch's condition is supposed to be a psychosis which happens as a result of split personality.
This story completely changes it. If only the 'operation' background story wasn't there...
But, don't let what I said be taken too hard to heart. This is just a character that I love and I'm probably too critical because of that.

Intriguing, love these so far. Guess this is how "Animated" might look when it comes to comic. Very good job with the Mosaic comics so far. Yes, want more. Thanks for the hard work.
