IDW's Last Stand of the Wreckers

[i_amtrunks]

Why cant Roche have a larger contribution to IDW TF comics?

Everything in issue #4 was just... right. It all ties in together with what we have been told by other writers, and Roche's version of Prowl is far more interesting than the drivel we got in Spotlight Prowl.

Even Verity is less annoying in Wreckers!

And just when I though no-one could out-fanwank the Animated Allspark Almanac, along comes LSOW #4 and Squadron X.

It's not fanwank - it's fantenderlymakinglovewiththeloveofyourlife. (Or a full-on fanorgy - whatever one prefers.)

I've got nothing really meaningful to contribute but I'm really digging LSOW. Ongoing Mission is slowly getting better (largely due to the fact that there's gonna be some more action), but I'm also hoping Roche gets to contribute more to the IDW-verse.

Got 5 yesterday. Holy crap. It is oh so very good. It doesn't pull any punches-in fact, it more than lives up to the series' theme of people dying in stupid pointless ways.

Although I do wonder whether anything'll conflict with the ongoing, given how Prowl seems to be more of a jerk in the very end of this than in his Spotlight. If this does build up to something in ongoing, then hell yeah.

I think IDW is composed of different microcontinuities depending on who is writing.

I wish Roche and Roberts could write an IDW-specific series of profile books.

But knowing IDW, they'd just assign it to whichever random writer they currently have on their "main book", and we'd get things like Drift Is Awesome And Japanese and Prowl Loves Humans.

It's all in the same (poorly put together) continuity.

I know but the 'micro-continuity' factor is still present.

Look at McCarthy's Blurr when compared to the Bumblebee comic Blurr - Radically different interpretations of the character within the same comic series.

The same thing goes with Hotrod and others.

To be honest we have had three Prowls, although I (personally) feel that Roche's take on Prowl is far more inline with what we see in the Furman penned stories.

It amazes me that IDW dont let Roche take more control, he has done more in a single 12 page one shot for Prowl than all his other appearances prior. Spotlight Kup is easily the best single issue TF story IDW has released, and Wreckers the best 5 parter TF series IDW have released.

Issue #5 is a killfest, but in a good way, its a series I have re-read twice already, and will definitely come back to time and time again.
