The Underbase goes from one extreme to the other this week.

If nothing else, he can definitely talk the talk better than Costa.

'Cause he actually likes Transformers.

Listened to the full interview. Sad to hear that Milne is taking over from Roche. I don't like these excessively enormous, techno-mad bots much. I'd much rather have Roche's animated style.

I know that EJ seems to be busy, but I'd like to know why Casey Coller wasn't considered for the ongoing.

My personal guess is that Casey can't do an ongoing (time-wise, I mean)...

I'm not the biggest Milne fan in the world... but his "Don-lite" style in 22 and 23 was about ten times better than anything I've seen from him previously. He's improved greatly... he still needs to work on clarifying his storytelling... but you can say that about 90% of artists working in mainstream comics today, couldn't you?

Wonder why Nick chose to move on? Disappointing... especially since the marketing hype was all about "the team that brought you LSoTW."

The reason Milne got picked just seems to be that he's always available and never says no. Though in fairness, Chaos Theory showed some of his best work.

Though Roche's style was nice (Shockwave and Kup spotlights were sweet!), I could only take so much of it. Most impressed by his writing, really.

It has been a long long time without EJ Su. Voltron has shown up on his deviant art page lately. Is that what he's drawing?
