Age of Wrath

Post by sprunkner » Mon Mar 20, 2006 5:50 pm

I was wondering

A) who wants to see Age of Wrath concluded soon,

B) who knows about the legal status-- is it a DW property or Hasbro?

C) hands up who likes me.

to be honest, i am so happy with teh current output that i am really not that fussed.

wouldn't mind seeing it, wouldn't be upset if it never happened, altho i guess its always nice to tie things up.

Yes! Right now! :)

I rather like those clone-bots.

This of course beggars the question, what do we want from any future IDW comic taking place millions of years ago in Cybertrons past? I suppose once we know more about IDW's continuity, we can answer that question better.

I wasn't crazy about it. Went slow and Grimlock "died." I think I was justt concerned after The Dark Ages that we were getting more convolution without resolution.

Hands up who likes me!

I'd like to see IDW release it as a TPB by the end of the year. Its more or less written, the art almost finished (and Ng's recent stuff looks fab).

I'd love to see how Energon tied up too... we'd invested 30 issues into that continuity, be nice to see how it turned out.

I'm not really expecting much DW stuff to ever get concluded tho. And thats not IDW's fault really, its DW's.

hands up, baby, hands up, diggy doo-wah-diddy now...

Yeah, I enjoyed it and all, but less than Dark Ages and I'm really not fussed if we don't see a conclusion.
I mean, it'd be nice.
But, yeah.
Meh.

I never started collecting it to be honest, so i've not got a reason to want to see it finished. Sure another Furman arc would be worth getting as a trade admittedly, but whether that happens or not, i'm not fussed.

I wasn't a big fan of that mini and would like to see the ending to Energon more. :)

I really want to see a conclusion to this, simply because Furman was giving Blaster his long-overdue props at last and we never got to see it...I mean, who wouldn't have wanted to see Blaster go toe-to-toe with Megatron?

Anyone?
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

to be honest i wasn't keen on the character being attributed to Blaster (still not enough Bob B in evidence) and regardless of how he was treated in WW we alerady had the crappy Mad Brick treatment established in the DW universe.

so i remain a bit meh.

I didn't actually start reading Age of Wrath . . . . mainly because I was waiting for all of the issues. I liked the War Within and Dark Ages. They were imaginative retellings of the TF origin. And it was nice to get away from the "Unicron" plot device that seems to keep popping up all over since G1 was revitalized in 2000 or so.

Just since G1 was revitalized, eh?

I'm thinking Unicron also had a legacy... and a saga... and aspects...

I would rather see Energon tied up than Age of Wrath. And evberybody knows Blaster doesn't fight Megatron, he fights the Mechanic and the Scraplets. If there had been Scrraplets instead of Seeker clones, then maybe I would go for AoW.

Blaster wasn't really sparking my interest in AoW either.
Nightbeat vs Megatron on the other hand...

the whole 'oh look, Sentinels, er i mean Seekers' thing didn't really grab me either.

agree an Energon conclusion is preferable.

I sure would have payed to see that! :) In the unfinished art that got leaked after the fall of DW, it looked like he actually pawned Megs in one panel! w00t!

With that said, now that you mention it, of course I'd more like to see the whole Armada/Energon -continuity tied up in a decent and worthy manor.

I'd love to see both of 'em, but I doubt we'll see either. IDW has its own continuity started. Hasbro has Cybertron. They'll probably just leave well enough alone.

Yeah, I mean that lastn issue of Energon with Megs and Scorpy duking it out both verbally and physically... best issue ever. :D

But AoW had Carnivac! Carnivac!!! Sorry I'm big on this... Issue 1 was great, 2 was a bit of a letdown because nothing really happened. But in 3 the pace was picked up, would have loved to see more of the Turbomasters, and whatever happaned to Baby Jane.., uh, I mean Flash (Gordon). :p

It looks like IDW is starting to reprint some DreamWave stuff. I saw a reprint of Gen1 Vol.1 in my local comic shop. I think I also heard that some of the DW G1 ongoing series will also be reprinted in trades.
