Transformers VS. GI Joe (IDW)

[BigTransformerTrev]

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.

My eyes, my eyes...

WTF did I just see?

The art style is so two dimensional, it looks like a kid was doing a bad impression of early 80s comic style.
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.

I hope not But it's possible.

Let's just hope they pull the plug on this.

I think that's a given from what we've seen.

Assuming you haven't read the preview pages yet, check them out first, because you may want to bleach your eyes after reading the whole thing.

And here it is. Read at your own peril fellow trans-fans.

Five minutes later:

Well, I hate to dissapoint you good folk, but they have just announced issue #1

http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...i-joe-1/30478/

but I'm not about to rush out and buy the trades. this will be the first transformers comic in I don't know how long that I won't be buying in some format.

Yep, same here. I missed out on issue #0 on Free Comic Book day and had already decided from the sneak peaks, before I read all the negative reviews, that I would bypass this. Looks like I had the right idea.
