Congrats, man.
I never knew it was possible for a thread to jump the shark before. Early Budiansky and DW McDonough better than IDW thus far? If you believe that, I've got a highly articulated Powermaster Optimus Prime I'd like to sell you.
How much?
Anyway, I wouldn't say that DW G1 was better quality than what we have now, but that I
enjoyed it more.
I can see why some would not like War and Peace, I really do. I don't have a real argument if you want to debate quality between Devestation and W&P. I just found it fun.
But I will say that the G1 ongoing
after War and Peace was of much better quality and more fun, and I would at least recommend those who haven't read it to give it a try. I enjoyed the Sunstorm Saga, his tussles with Jetfire, Starscream being Starscream, Brawn and Ratchet taking on Bruticus and blowing him up in the Ark, Predaking kicking Brutics's ass, the Insecticon story, but more than anything, the return of Megatron. I liked the idea of multiple subplots, like what Furman is doing now, but a lot of fans lost patience by the time it was cancelled.
War and Peace was badly thought-out garbage. An insult to both my intelligence and my wallet. And the sole reason I didn't bother with volume 3.
Like I said, Volume 3 was, to me, the best DW had offered. I would say give it a try if you haven't, at least.
"But the Costa story featuring Starscream? Fantastic! This guy is "The One", I just know it, just from these few pages. "--Yaya, who is never wrong.
