![]() This week, it's looking forwards and back like two halves of Jazz flying away from one another. First up, my look at Dark Spark finds out what happens when someone comes back from the dead wrong. Then, it's the rubber duckey of Transformers shows as I discuss Beast Wars!

I was subscribed to the Titan Comic at least until the Animated title rolled into this one, and it's scrappy AHM reprints...but a lot the stuff I'm reading on your blog I've just plain forgotten about. Evil Jazz being one of them. I dunno what it is with the UK Movie strip, it never gelled with me. I think unlike with the original UK title, where the cartoon was a distinct separate entity to the comics on both sides of the pond,none of what happened in the comics based on the film felt like it would matter. Or had enough of it's own identity to withstand being derailed by whatever the films ended up doing. The artwork also felt too bright and cheerful for films that are not really known for this, so the tone doesn't feel right either.

As for the BW cartoon itself...

Interesting to see all the beast wars love on here. I suppose I never took the cartoon very seriously and much preferred the comics storyline. I really like the 1986 movies, for all its flaws, but I don't think I have even watched any cartoon episodes beyond that. I stumbled across beatlst wars a few times on "good morning TV" on channel 3/ITV (I was a big Big Breakfast fan, on the other CHANNEL, channel 4 - as Tom had mentioned, in the UK we had 4 to choose from). I thought the cgi was intriguing but still cheap looking. I gathered it was surprisingly to do with transformers, though as mentioned gmtv seemed at pain to distance it. I was in my late teens by this point anyway and not the target audience.
