Revisitation 73: Shut Your Cakehole.

13/5/2022

This week, the final battle starts...

...and doesn't really go anywhere.

Plus, Megatron turns out to have a great future as a medium as he correctly predicts Starscream's future and Roadbuster gets busted as I look at All Hail Megatron issue 11!

The comment link doesn't work.

I don't have much to say about this issue.
Other then that its a cartoon inflected nostalgia shallow nostalgia grab.
So light and frothy, it damn near puts you to sleep with how bland, boring and predictable it all is.

Which isn't a good thing for the fist part of the grand finale in your reboot mini series.

All in all a directionless mess. But since when has that been anything new for this series ?

This should have been issue 5 of 6.

You must be a fast poster, getting in before I'd added the comment link. I like that, keen.

So fast I didn't even notice I used nostalgia twice.
Must have been in a nostalgic mood.

I can only really repeat what's already been said, in that this issue really is mostly padding and rehashing what's come before, without actually getting to any sort of point. I remember reading this the first time around and being massively unimpressed with how many splash pages there are. They're not badly drawn - it just means there's very little story, and very little content to actually read. Another thing that they inherited from Dreamwave (the earlier issues, anyway).

I've not really got much more to say about it than that. Only that, after drawing it out for so long, I'm looking forward to the relief of the series coming to a conclusion of sorts very soon. And yes, there is more pain in our not-too-distant future, but at least it'll be a different sort of pain. Which is a positive, right..?

...I don't know about that, pain is pain.
At least a spotlight ( Megatron) and a mini series (Wreckers ) will soften the blow, but they can only do so much.

The Costa series is dire and overlong and has about as much to say as AHM does.
I'll save most of my venom for the actual stories but i was extremely dissapointed in the first arc. and how everything was in clearly delineated tpb friendly "arcs"despite being an "ongoing".
