Read all of MTMTE in the span of about 48 hours.

[Professor Smooth]

Finally got around to using the Kindle my wife bought me for me (urgh) 30th birthday for the reason I wanted it in the first place. Reading comics away from my computer! And what better way to test it out than with that MTMTE series I've heard so much about?

Issue 1: Christ, this is wordy.
Issue 2: Not just wordy, witty. Every character is awesome.
By issue 5: This is the kind of Transformers comic I've always wanted to read, without even knowing it.
By issue 10: I can see why so many people were after Hasbro to release new versions of characters I could barely pick out of a line-up.
Annual 2012: LMAO! HAHAHAHA! Awesome. Hahahaha! Hmmm. LMFAO!
By issue 14: How did I go a year without reading this? When people said "It's great!" I just kind of assumed "better than Dreamwave".
By issue 16: They do WHAT to their hands and heads? SENATOR SHOCKWAVE?!?! SEN-A-TOR SHOCK-WAVE!?!?!?!
Issue 17: Don't you ****ing make me cry, Transformers comic book! Don't you ****ing do it! Three words? It better not be those three words...It's...DAMN YOU COMIC BOOK ABOUT ROBOTS!!!!
By issue 19: Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! I HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH FOR THE NEXT ISSUE?!?!?! HOW DID PEOPLE DO THIS?!?!

You're not a fan?

You're not a fan?

Best Transformers comics I've ever read. So good, that I might start reading comics again on a regular basis.

The thing with Chromedome and Rewind? Broke my heart, man. Just. Like. Heart. Broken.

So damn envious!

Agree on the wordiness, but once you settle in, it's refreshing. More bang for your buck.

It's amazing isn't it?
Best comic I've read in erm 10 years?

And whirl, whirl is my comic drug

I genuinely physically ache for this comic every month.

I think the pain is born of the frustration that there is nothing i can do but wait.

But i want it so badly.

Robert's doesn't write using ink, his pen is full of heroin, i swear to god.

Lovely summary Smooth.

BUT IT HAS MADE ME ACHEY.

Thanks!

But, as it so happens, there just may be something you can do to ease the wait. A smidgen, at least.

Over on another message board, there has been a call to help promote the book. One poster (who isn't me) suggested uploading video "reviews" of each issue to YouTube. Not spoilery, of course, but critical reviews aimed at exposing more people to the series. I offered to have my video reviewing counterpart film the videos on the condition that the poster who suggested it write at least the first few reviews (since I have no experience in comic reviews and would want to do it justice).

A few other posters got behind the idea, but nobody has yet come forward to tackle the writing of it yet.

So, if you (or anybody else) would like to help with the actual writing of the reviews, I'll take care of making and uploading the videos themselves.

Ideally, these would be fairly short (I'm thinking about five minutes per video). I can handle scanning and editing the necessary panels.

Something to do in between waits for the next issue? What say you?

[bumblemusprime]

I can write reviews, but they're pretty gushy...

[Yaya]

It's the best comic out there, IMO. Hands down.

If there are negatives I would say there are too many mentions of events and such that we know nothing about (yet) that can make it kind of confusing to keep straight sometimes. (Unless you read it as a trade all at once perhaps). And second, there are too many psychoses. The cast has become the living depiction of the DSM manual of psychiatric illnesses. I was cool with all that up to the last issue where both Star Saber AND Tyrest turn out to be loons.

But I guess when you get down to it we're all a bit crazy. In Bumblebeemus' case, more than a bit.

Not so much throwing stones in glass houses as detonating a nuke in a glazing factory.

I love you guys.

The wait is getting worse every issue. For the last two, I have been logged into Comixology all morning and early afternoon on the day of release, hitting refresh in between every other thing I do and feeling this squeeze of sadness when the list doesn't update.

I need to find more people to give all my issues to. Maybe I can get some vicarious pleasure from watching them go through the same emotions all over again. I'm just not sure many would appreciate me avidly staring at them while they catch up on two years' worth of comics.
