Annoyingly, the double page spread is so small as to be illegible so there's not much to say about that, but otherwise:
  1. That RI cover...what exactly is Prime doing to Ratchet?
  2. Proteus. Hurrah!
  3. Pious Maximus. Hurrah, if with a little bit of wha...? as well
  4. "Obv" stands for obviously.
  5. Red Alert. Yays!
  6. Cyclonus is still awesome. And "key", apparently. Still wondering about that.
  7. Drift remains a dick.
  8. I very much enjoyed seeing Cyclonus smacking Drift down like that.
  9. Numbered lists are annoying.
Can't wait until Wednesday though
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

10. A big fat hen
11. Turn it up to 11!

Feeling a bit giddy. Suppose it was the joy of seeing Emvee rocking out in the crowd last night.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Hmmm, good bar setting. Now I have to go and see a Spencer gig.

Cyclonus is badass. And so is Milne's rendition of him - the leap in this guys art since a few years ago is fantastic.

Yes. I just adore the look on his face when he says "Apology accepted", it's sublime.

And Spencer rocks :headbang:

TBH the biggest thing about Milne which impresses me is his versatility. I've been re-reading all the IDW stuff and he can do quite a few styles, from his incredibly busy stuff in Megs Origin, to the nice sharp edges of Spotlight Arcee. From the ridiculously pointy oh so Japanese bits of THAT miniseries we do not speak of to the simpler, more cartoony, maybe a little photoshop effect heavy ROTD, to his fantastic Nick-alike work on MTMTE, I have to say the range of styles is very pleasing.
