Transformers Devastation #4

I wish they did just make it an ongoing instead of trying to boost sales with new issue 1s every six issues.

+1!

And I'm still waiting to see what happens to Nightbeat when his... erm... neural implant or whatever was done to him is activated. I suspect he was abducted by Quintessons personally... we'll see.

Well, while I enjoyed this issue, I didn't enjoy it enough to defend it against STL's critisisms. It feels very much like a link in the chain issue, the battle against six shot was good, but everything else felt like it was just a lead up to the next issue.

As has been echoed by others, I wouldn't mind all the many plots and subplots if this was an ongoing series, but as a miniseries, with a 4 month hiatus, it's feels really stop start, and I tend to loose focus between miniseries. Nonetheless I look forward to resolutions of some subplots, particularly the Reavers, and the Machination, (who I'm sure is Scorponok). The plots that interest me most are the more unusual ones that fall a bit outside of the usual TF universe. But I guess they have to fill each comic with a certain quota of classic Autobot action so the more easy to please fanboys will buy it.

You sure it hasn't already been?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it has too. Everytime i see Nightbeat now, I get slightly suspicious. Like in the Blaster Spotlight, it just felt dodgy the way he was sitting there even if it was only for a panel

[GoktimusPrime]

touché! ;D

There was certainly a scene in Escalation that made Nightbeat look very dodgy, and a similar event in the reviewed issue.

yeah the ongoing versus mini-series argument is a tough one. Often discussed everywhere. Mostly from my understanding it comes from a retailer/market perspective for an independent publisher as IDW is. So yeah, maybe Dev has had one or two too many plot threads... but hopefully one or two will be tied up by #6.
