With regard to liegeprime's comment about the lack of bodies and what not. As far as taking this destruction serious goes. I actualy found that the artwork as nice as it is, detracts from the overall feel of the comic. the artwork is very G1 the Deceps are all smiley and grinning all the time much like they did in the old cartoon. And for that reason I find it hard to reconcile with the dark tone the story is suposed to set. While i think the art is good, considering the nature of the story I wish they'd used one of thier other artists. So we could have abit more shadows and darkness. If they really want to make the Decepticons scary they should make it more like Rythms of Darkness from the old marvel comic, now that was dark.
This is not a good comic to re-read.
Nope, Ryall, McCarthy et all have been trying really hard for months to convince everyone that it is indeed in continuity.
However I think there will be retcons were AHM is concerned.
The art and seeing how McCarthy will try so very hard to tie this into the very close knitted Furmanverse is all that has me wanting to see the next few issues.
And good news for you Paulbot, the Mosaic that Furman penned that you hated so much is now considered non cannon.

I don't know if I would call it thrown out, more like altered. From what we saw in AHM, and the announcement of Maximum Dinobots may have given Furman a reason to alter his storyline (that's my line of thinking anyways)
No, the thing Transformers needs most is dozens upon dozens of intersecting and confusing alternate Universes!

I only read the series' following up to All Hail Megs only just recently (am planning to pick up the trades) but I have to say I'm enjoying this I've never enjoyed transformers comics as much as now. I felt that a lot of the DW stuff was too flashy and hard to follow whereas these have been refreshing. While sometimes I feel the colouring isn't up to scratch in every issue, they've been fairly consistent.
I picked up AHM last week and was happy with it. While yes, I am sad that they're not properly continuing the story that has come before, I am looking forward to where this takes us.
And bloody oath - the spotlight issues really add to the main storyline. I've only just read some of these and how they've tied in has me happy!
AHM #1 as an intro issue has a lot of questions posed by the time it's all over (feels like it's over too quick though) but it does leave me hanging for the next few issues
So, issue #2 is out! What did people think?
Personally, I was a bit underwhelmed. I was hoping that it would go further faster. I guess it does make sense that there will be build up before getting to the real meat - I guess my beef was that there was a fair amount of human-ness in this issue - which I'm not that big a fan of :b
