Dream(wave) or nightmare?

So Best, when you say "DW is crap" in the G1 forum, do you mean just the G1 DW was crap? Or do you think WW, Armada, and Energon were also crap? Were they all equally crappy, or were there varying degrees of craptitude?

[quote="me"-Things i will remember DW for:

MTMTE - good job by and large
Don
Guido
Raiz
Armada Sparkplug
Cybertronian Designs

Oh, and Pat and Roger Lee being collosal scum****s

and thats about it. In plot terms i don't think there is anything that surpasses the high points of the Marvel run (i enjoyed most of Simon's stuff but i think he was hamstrung in a lot of ways and he never really cut loose like he did at the end of G1 and in G2) and to me that renders the whole era, in terms of contributing to continuity, rather redundant.

what was not crap was not good enough to make me mourne its passing massively IMO.

Mainly i thouht G1 was dire and the rest was passable but not remarkable.

I actually really liked most of the DW G1 stuff . . . at least the art. Okay, I was a bit dissapointed by the storyline of Vol. 1 of DW and especially the decision to not continue where Marvel or the original Cartoon left off. We really didn't need a new continuity, but it seems like alot of the 1980's nostalgia comics from a few years back decided to go that route (voltron and He-Man, anyone?)

If you viewed the G1 storylines as an alternate universe being told for fun, then they would not be as bad.

Now, in my opinion, the DW art was more than superior to most of the Marvel run. I mean, come on, most of the Marvel run art looked like it was phoned in, if you catch my drift . . .

I can truly say that DW stuff got me back into comics as a whole, as I had totally stopped collecting any titles

I am a little annoyed that it has taken this long for a new company to pick up TF's though.

The Dreamwave Transformer figures were generally more defined, had more detail, and were more colorful. That counts for very little, though, when the Transformer figure postures and panel compositions (i.e. story flow) in their C.omic B.ooks were generally awful.

Yep.

DW art was pretty but in a large number of cases faild to do its primary job of telling a coherent story.
