Regarding the art, as I said in the Tales of the Fallen thread:

His action poses aren't terribly dynamic and his sense of cinematic choreography fails to excite me. Often one panel doesn't seem to 'connect' to what's happening in the next panel with a sense of "visual logic." Magno's art is otherwise not bad and he seems to have the potential to be a decent comic book artist. Perhaps Magno would benefit from having a closer look at Geoff Senior's G1 and G2 art for a better idea of how to 'animate' action scenes in comic books.
Now compared to his TOTF art I think he's gotten little bit better insofar as the humans not looking quite as identical as they did in TOTF. But I still find his action poses to be undynamic and bland. Optimus Prime leading the battle charge in the last issue looked more like he was slipping on a giant banana peel. When the robots are fighting it looks more like they're just accidentally tripping into each other. I find he draws humans better than robots. Now some might say that this is probably because his prior experience has predominantly been with drawing human(like) characters for DC and Marvel and hasn't had previous experience with drawing Transformers - but I think a good artist would still adapt. Look at Andrew Wildman for example. The man has admitted that he got into drawing comics because he wanted to draw super heroes like the X-Men, not robots like Transformers. And it's obvious that when he was hired to draw Transformers, he simply adapted them into his own style of drawing and made the Transformers look like super heroes! And Wildman's one of the widely loved comic artists from G1 next to Geoff Senior.

The one thing about the colouring that persistently bugged me was Mudflap's head! Were they running short on orange ink??
