All as I look at Spotlight Drift!
This week, it's time to want Drift's toy (as not available in shops), as the ninja Autobot causes Turmoil, Turmoil fails to catch his Drift and Kup decides the Wreckers are for pussies and sets up an even more extreme team (it has a guy with swords).
All as I look at Spotlight Drift!

This week, several plots come to a head (master), amidst lots more driving around and around. Plus, don't break your humans. All in my look at All Hail Megatron Issue 8! This week, Swoop leaves... and comes back, Grimlock joins the "Me" generation, Hot Rod lives up to his name and James Roberts cameos (again), all as I look at Maximum Dinobots issue 3! This week, we get a Deluge of flashbacks that may cause some torment as Irohide finally snaps in my look at All Hail Megatron issue 7! First up, over the next week I'm offering a signed Jodie Whittaker picture in exchange for donations to Ukrainian humanitarian aid, details in this tweet HERE. Meanwhile, back in the brave new year of 2009, an issue that is half a conversation that never happened, a quarter characters on the same side fighting amongst themselves, one 8th bugs and one 8th "Aren't Europeans smug cowards when it comes to war?" Find out which of those has aged badly as I look at All Hail Megatron Issue 6! This week, Kup is back! Ratbat is back! Drift is here! Plus, parental issues all round as I look at All Hail Megatron issue 5! Prime is in danger. Just not the Prime you were expecting. And only Cybertron's answer to Chris Akabusi can save him as I look at SPOTLIGHT BLURR. This week, read my piece on All Hail Megatron issue 4, or I'll punch you till you do. Because I'm your friend and it's good for you. Sorry, the comic may have gotten to me. This week, I look at All Hail Megatron issue 3. But, a quick note here on the just announced today loss of the Transformers licence at IDW. The company as a business I won't miss (though I doubt whoever takes over will be squeaky clean either). The stories, the creators and the community though, have all has their ups and downs, but over two decades, collectively have been amazing. In More Than Meets the Eye, they gave us what I think has been the best ever ongoing Transformers comic (not in every issue or idea being perfect, but the overall consistency has been amazing). In the Wreckers trilogy they gave us what I think is the best TF comic full stop. And right up to this current month, we've had so much good stuff. Barber (especially as an editor), Scott, Ruckley and company have been consistently working their asses off. And the artists, from E.J. Su in the dawn times to Anna Malkova, we've had some stunning work on a hard to do franchise (as anyone who remembers the Great Door Argument between Roberts and Milne will attest). I think many of them will carry over to the New for that reason. But it's the people. Especially during the MTMTE run there was a real close sense of community. IDW were not always perfect (indeed, today I'm talking about a very Not Perfect issue of AHM), but it sum is greater than its parts and it's a legacy I think we'll look back on fondly, even if whoever the new people are carry on doing good work. This week, meet the man who doesn't need a map, either literally when driving or just metaphorically so he has a clue. Plus, a real Frenzy of excitement, Bridge racing to the Bridge and Devastator suffering from car-pool tunnel syndrome. All as I look at All Hail Megatron Issue 2! |
