Reign of Starscream

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Reign of Starscream

Post by Best First » Tue May 13, 2008 1:26 pm

Anyone get this?

Thought the story was ok, not mind blwoing but quite decent in terms of providing a different voice from the ones we got in the movie (i.e Starscreams.

Artwise - i just can't see any appeal in Milne's stuff - his storytelling is more competant here (altho there are still a couple of wobbles) but even where evrything is nice and clear there's just nothing about it that excites me.

Plus lets face it the movie designs look pretty horrid when rendered in a detailed fashion on the page.

IMO anyway.

All that said maybe i am just nonplussed as i don't really care that much about the movie bounders.

Chris Ryall and Chris Mowry, iirc.

Not bothering with it, tbh. I've got no money as it is and get more than enough of a TF fix from the main book.

I got offered it when I went to pick up my standing order, but turned it down.
I just can't bring myself to buy anything tying into that *PG mode activated* mess of a film.

I couldn't care less about the Movie continuity, but this comic was good. Not Simon Furman good, but better then most IDW stuff NOT written by Furman nowadays...

It gets a big PLUS from me for including Prowl. :) He should have been in the movie, IMHO. And it sort of kicks the Movie when it's down - Starscream clearly points out what an idiot Megatron was in the Movie, when he went after the Allspark.

Also love the scene when Starscream easily decimates the Raptors. I bet the military opposed to the same happening in the movie...
