Official New Movie Adaptation

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!

Got issue 1, but I'm not reading these till I've seen the film. Anyone else going the distance?

I read issue one, and I recall not liking it very much. But mainly, I don't want the movie to be ruined for me (any more than it already has, that is) by reading the comics. However, because I've got "All Transformers except for Generations" on my pull list at my LCS, it's still showing up in my box piling up waiting for me to buy it if the movie somehow is passable.

well, now i have seen the movie, i have read the first 3 issues of this...

and its pretty crap.

Basically the usual complaints about Milne's art, which given what its supposed to be a representation of (its not exactly a dialogue driven film) undermines the whole endevour.

This would have been a great product to showcase Fig or Guido IMO, feels like a real waste.
