Furmo and Shane O Mac have both hinted about upcoming Spotlights on their blogs. It being EJ makes me think Furman's likely. It being Jazz makes me think maybe McCarthy.Ah, the suspense.
I'll go ahead and confirm a few things about this project.
It is indeed Spotlight Jazz.
And E.J. also will be doing the interiors.
As for who's writing it, I'm gonna hold onto that info for a bit longer...
I totally agree. The best Jazz comic moment is when Galvatron lobotomised him.stranger wrote:I'd probably say McCarthy as well. Shame really, as I can't recall ever getting into Jazz's head in any comic, beyond what you'd know from his techspec. He's never been that interesting has he?
Why not give Roche another go? He's shown a bit of promise in what hes done so far...
You know, I thought just after I posted that he was probably best depicted in Target 2006. Totally different to cartoon Jazz, which is pretty much the only characterisation he's had. If it is McCarthy, I doubt his research will be much farther reaching than his Season 1 boxsetHound wrote:I totally agree.

However, I thought Mcarthy wrote Jazz fairly well in the last AHM. It might work.
For me, that was the coolest Jazz has ever been.Hound wrote: However, I thought Mcarthy wrote Jazz fairly well in the last AHM. It might work.
I think it's purely cartoon based love. He had a recognisable voice actor, he changed into a cool vehicle. He had fun context sensitive gadgets such as grappling lines or boom boxes that could be used in 1 episode and forgotten in another.Yaya wrote:For me, that was the coolest Jazz has ever been.Hound wrote: However, I thought Mcarthy wrote Jazz fairly well in the last AHM.

Strange though. For a character that gets so much fan love, I can't really recall much characterization for him in any of the previous comic runs. I would almost say he's been underused.
I thought about this earlier, the longer the silence goes on the more I think it's neither. Outside bet on the guy whos been doing the movie-verse stuff? Wouldn't be a bad thing...BB Shockwave wrote:
And, I must say I think it's a Simon comic. That's Razorclaw on the cover, in Cybertronian form. If this was a Shane comic, Razorclaw would be in lion form without a feasible explanation...
In addition, he was also known for his serious take in "Man of Iron," as well as the "Oh, him too?" Classic Pretender.BB Shockwave wrote:I think Jazz has been pretty consistently pictured as the 'cool' guy in the Comics. Sure enough he was never shown to be as high-ranked as Prowl but he was at least at 'Squad leader' status. And has often been the voice of reason (think matrix quest) in the team.
