Read #8. Look, when your comic's titled TRANSFORMERS, you expect to see the titular robots early on. In this issue, they're first mentioned on page 10, and ONE actually appears on page 17, gets trapped in two pages, and is monologued to death by Spike for three. This comic has 22 pages. So an actual Transformer only appears for five pages of a 22 page comic titled TRANSFORMERS. What the hell, Costa?

I understand the concept behind this issue-develop the main human character-but he's such an unlikable jerk by the end of #8 that the overall quality of the comic would increase drastically if Omega Supreme stepped on him.

The only highlight for me was page 8. Those soldiers look very eager to be 'horsing around'. Henderson seems positively jubilant at the prospect of being grabbed roughly by a brawny young man. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just seems funny in an issue about how ultra-masculine Spike is.
