Favourite single issue?

Do you have a fav issue you just keep reading over and over?

I like issue #203 - even the back up action force story is cool...

I dont know what number it is, but the issue where Impactor first dies, Target 2006, and Jazz gets munted by Galvatron.

It was my first issue of the comic, it has left a big impression on me and Target 2006 is my fave story arc ever.

Made the biggest impression as a kid? Plight of the Bumblebee

Read over and over again? Ratchet/Megatron US 70

UK #82. Proper first introduction of the Wreckers. Love it loads. Full-on fight scene, the whole Impactor/Xaaron wily old buzzard stuff, and the lads going for a pint down Maccadam's and getting into a barney. Wreck and Rule, man!

Love the theme of the issue, and that bit at the end when everyone sticks their hands (or whatever) up before Impactor can finish his sentence.
Probably the first issue when instead of just reading the rest of the comic, I went back and read/looked at the main strip again first. Really like the art in that issue.

No review of it yet.

I'll add in a vote for another Target 2006 issue. Galvy and Magsy's clash in issue 86. Best. Fight. Ever.

US #5, for the first time we are introduced to the concept of evil winning in TFs, and the Bots totally beaten, and their fates are in the hands of a sole medic and a 17 year old human.

Plus the cover is a classic

I've been posting that regularly on the Transformerslive board, the toonies just don't seem to handle the fact that Shockwave is on Earth and that the Decepticons won

As a kid, my favorite issue was the introduction of the Constructicons . . . really have no reason for that.

After finally getting my hands on the UK reprints, my favorite issue hands down is the one where a newly exhumed Ultra Magnus (from a volcano) is terrified by a returned Galvatron yet manages to find the strength to kick the crap outta him anyway!!! Which issue is that?

For me, issue #5- the 'all are dead' Shockwave cover. I was like, WOV. It doesn't happen often in a comic that all the good guys die and through 2 issues there are only bad guys (oh, and Ratchet).

I guess it's On the Edge of Extinction. It was the last issue we got here, the one which made the most impression out of the ones I read at that time, and it has so many great moments.

veritech · Post by **veritech** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 9:40 pm

I don't know, as a kid I re-read the comic that introduced the Constructicons and the one that introduced the Dinobots over and over! Not particularly good issues in hindsight . . .

US #67. "Rhythms of Darkness." Even though it was drawn by Jose Delbo, the comic was a dark and disturbing masterpiece. I was blown away.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 5:08 am

Either "Meet the Wreckers" or US #18. Both are awesome visions for mid-war Cybertron. Or US #75 which is probably without comparision anywhere for sheer epic value.

Yep, I`d agree with that. Best. Cover. Ever.

Great story, and it has some of Lee Sullivan's best comic strip art in it (not to mention his first real TF strip art).

Lee.S. has gotten about as lazy as Geoff.S. with some of his recent artwork, though.

I'd agree about Geoff, but did you see Lee's strip work in the UK Armada comic? It was as good as ever I thought.

Here's one of his snazzy covers:

I liked that Doctor Who web stuff he did as well.

i'm not convinced Senior's Lazy, i (somehow) get the impression he just isn't very interested anymore.

either way its a shame.

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 9:16 am

Yeah, thats possible.

Post by **Best First** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 10:52 am

he seems to be the one artists who now sits pretty much firmly outseid the industrt, he is largely elsuive as well in terms of interviews and convention appearences.

Then again he did do the strip art for Reaching The Omega Point.

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:56 pm

I wonder if there's a chance he'd return for that IDW TF series where they're doing one-off stories? I'm excited about that one... a real chance to see a variety of art styles, instead of everyone doing the same thing.

Post by **Best First** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 2:04 pm

yeah, its a great idea, one that DW ignored eevn though it was constantly suggested.
