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

Oooh...I like the ending & the origin of Counterpunch. Mysterious in a way....

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....

Wow - that's really great! I would love to see an animated feature with the mosaic characters!

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.

Too bad the Gobot Turbo get's it...
Punch is one of my favorite characters and I love what you did with him!
Great!
Keep 'm coming!

Ooh blimey, it's intense! That medic (First Aid?) was a pillock.

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.

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.
