I really enjoyed both Gathering and Ascending. Great story and great art from my fav of the modern TF artists, Fig...

What I really liked was that original Beast Wars characters were mostly ignored, apart from a few lines here and there. I like that it gave all those non-show toys some characterisation. The Beast Wars tv show, with its relatively small cast, had ample time to develop the main characters, which they did perfectly. Which is why I was glad that instead of just using that cast, as one would most likely expect, they went for something which I think is a bit out of left field and opted for the toy only characters.

Overall to be honest, I would go as far to say that I have liked it, and its sequel the most out of all the IDW stuff that I have read, apart from Stormbringer. Maybe because it did something out of the norm and didn't just use the characters we already know all too well. Fingers crossed for some more BW stories in the same vein but I don't like my chances with AHM, Max Dinos and all the movie stuff about to come out...
