Did anyone else pick up this... comic?
Yep. And it was nice that I could read part one for free and won't waste any money on this series.
I don't mind new/different takes, but this feels like a mocking parody of both franchises.
I really can't see people lining up to buy this steaming pile each month. There is stylised artwork, and then there is a total abandonment of artistic progress. It's disappointing.Quote:

The 6 page preview convinced me not to pick this up. Went for Zombie Tramp fanservice instead.
Really wanted to pick this up. Is it available on the internets for free? (I realise that runs contrary to the point of FCBD...)

Even if it was intentional, that just looked so bad, I skipped over half of it because it was too bad to follow.
And the "translated cybertronian".... really annoying the way they did that.
I can't imagine this comic going beyond the first issue. If they hadn't given a sample on FCBD, people might have pre-ordered the first issue on faith.... but now I can imagine a lot of people cancelling their orders, or just not buying it at all.
It wasn't good for either GIJoe or Transformers.
Really really bad.
The most terrifying thought -- What ideas got turned down in preference to this?
Good ones?Quote:
