It's another big beast of a piece this week, so no preamble other than to welcome you all to Phase 2 properly as I look at More Than Meets the Eye issue 1!

We've finally reached a new milestone with this one! The beginning of perhaps the best Transformers series to date, and one of the finest sci-fi comics out there. I love how Roberts doesn't waste any time with his fresh start, immediately diving in and establishing a whole new cast of 'bots with unique personalities. He certainly knows how to cram as many character interactions and dialogue as possible within around 22 pages.

Okay, I can't just leave it with that jokey comment, as anyone who knows how little I managed to write about some of the worst and least noteable Costa issues would probably guess.

Huh. So it turns out I might have hit an invisible character limit here. Or something just buggered up. So what I think I said was:

The only thing I'll disagree with here is that the future message has a satisfying payoff.

Loved your affectionately thorough review of this issue & looking forward to many more to come. I recall feeling quite visceral about Primacy at the time of its publication, especially given that it was supposed to be the riveting pre-war follow up to chaos theory… and failing so miserably at generating anywhere near that hype or the hype of its contemporaries MTMTE & RID. It’s a sobering reminder that Roberts only does 3 more stories set around this era (one being the forgettable Spotlight Orion Pax) for the remainder of 2005 IDW and aside from SOTW I think most of them are things that would’ve been more interesting as offhand references than the forgettable “fleshing out” we got.

ah More Than Meets The Eyes, both the first comic I followed regularly and the first to disappoint me

There is nothing wrong with physical media, especially now when streaming services are deleting their content left and right (when it's not profitable to keep it), and there's nowhere you can see it legally.
