Comic review - Transformers Infestation

[Seraphim Prime]

Are Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning taking over the ongoing as well? Not sure if that's news or if I've got my wires crossed somewhere, but would be good as the their Legion Of Super Heroes was awesome.

I remember hearing something similar too, though I wasn't quite sure from where I had heard it. I do remember thinking that it was a little unfair on Mike Costa to be replacing him mid story though. Though I also heard something about another mini-series so thought that they could be working on that.

But yeah, not sure.

So issue 2 was.... interesting.

Certainly not a jumping on point for newbies, although to make sense of this issue, you only really had to have read Spotlight Kup and a single Coda issue (15?), although the Dead Universe stuff would certainly help.

Good to see Prowl being back to his old self, instead of the 180 weirdo he was in his spotlight. too bad that awesome storyline Roche had set up and running in the background got dragged out and shot dead in a fairly lame crossover.

So Is it worth picking up? I was tempted, Dan Abbnnet is a decent (but not amazing) writer of scifi and war for Warhammer 40k and Action Force long ago but IDW haven't done much good of late.

There's no poll? we need a poll.

I wouldnt really recommend it.

Its not something I feel that I'll ever read again.

All it really did was reintroduce Galvatron and his crew, as well as destroy all of the good work Roche did with Kup and Prowl over the past few years.

Sucktackular.

Well at least that saves me from buying it in a weak moment.

I found the story to be a lot better than what I was expecting, so I quite enjoyed reading it! <shrug> Maybe cos I didn't have much expectations so I wasn't terribly disappointed.

Poll added. I say yes because the trade will be full of non-Transformer stuff so get it while you can. I like the cartoony/G1 mix on the art in part one.

Haven't got issue two yet though.

Okay...I enjoyed both issues of the Transformers Infestation story...
but...
the event as a whole has been a big disappointment.

Zombies kind of bore me now days...


Although I will admit that Britt chick has a great rack...

At the comic store today and they didn't have the new books I wanted. As I was about to walk out I heard a customer ordering TF trades from the shopkeep and being told that Infestation wasn't in continuity.

I butted in and explained that yes it is, it takes place between panels of Heart of Darkness #4 and has a major status quo change for one of the Transformers. I think I convinced him to buy it because he wanted the whole story. I probably should have tried to talk him out of buying the Heart of Darkness trade.

You evil, evil man.
