Okay, so it's only 9 pages two days early... but if you're anything like me, you'll rush to read it.

Am I the only one who finds the constant wise-cracking from every character a tad at odds with the situation?

I kinda wish Roberts would tone it down a little.

I really love the artwork. I'm even starting to find Drift adorable!

The wisecracking does feel a little TMNT-esque...

I'm fine with the wisecracking. It's a nice change from all of the po-faced seriousness we've had to read over the last few years...

I love the wise cracks and non serious dialogue, that's what's really making it for me.

It's ore right?

The wisecracks would probably be a bit much if the stories were lacking in depth, but Roberts crams threads and character into these issues.

Heck, even Shock/Ore (whatever) get some backstory in the prevew.

Read it. Another solid issue, really enjoyed it.

These are the kind of one shot stories that have been missing for so long. Roberts again just knows how to craft a story and build the characters. We now have ourselves a crew of maybe 14 or 15 bots who we know, each being distinct with his own story to tell. What's really telling, and something Costa and McCarthy need to pay attention to, is that some of the these characters we've never even seen before, like Tailgate and Swerve. Yet, a mere three issues in, we feel like we know them and want to see where they'll end up. That's how you bring the readers into the story. That's how you write.

I will say, I agree about Roberts going a little overboard with the wise cracks. They're fun and all, but I think he needs to tone it down just a tad. Actually, he doesn't need to tone down the amount of wise cracks, just the number of characters that crack...wisely. Else they all start to sound alike, sound.....cookie-cutter.

Well, I did say Roberts was Furman 2.0, didn't I?

Solid stuff, really. Strong "A". One of the best comics out there, for sure.
