IDW RiD #3 preview

[griffin]

IDWs Robots in Disguise comic (the homeworld one, not the offworld one) has issue three out this week, and you can see 7 of the 20-something pages here.

Seriously?

"Hi, Dirge! I'm Barrel Roll. I'm green and you've never seen me before unless you collect obscure Euro Mini-Cons, but I totally fit in with the rest of my team - this is Silverbolt, Air Raid, Fireflight, Skydive and Slingshot. Weird that my colours completely clash with the rest of my team. And they're all G1 characters who combine into a giant robot and I'm always left o... Oh crap."

Why didn't they just give the sixth Aerialbot a red shirt to wear?

Agreed. It's not like they haven't killed off characters before that were part of combiner teams.

Wheeljack centris means this should be good, we only have another 2 issues after this one before a big name returns to give the Bee and his team more grief!

I'm hoping that solicit regards a standalone change of scene issue myself. Like that issue with Hot Rod attacking the Deceptibase in the middle of the earthbound ongoing. Take a break, show us something else that sets up further stories, then back to the regular story.

But overall i continue to get the vibe that RID is the poor brother. Looking forward to trying #2 when the price drops tomorrow. Edit: it's already dropped. I'll download and read it tonight.

I'll jump in your boat of hope.

Just thought we'd go more than 6 months without seeing him. Maybe IDW had a mini panic in the scheduling? (wishful thinking: it takes the action of the main players but sets up events for the next year of stories...)
