IDW Transformers Comic Discussion - Spoilers Within

[minion]

The new ongoing has had signs of awesomeness, but it's not really shone through yet. Swindle was (as always) amazing, and it was fun to see a new combiner. The recent Decepticon issue was really good (poor art aside).
There are loads of problems with it though, the first 6 issues of horrible TF designs (those faces!!!), a story so slow it makes a Bendis story seem rushed, and generally terrible character protrayal (Magnus?!?!?!?).
I like that they're trying something different, and i've not intent of dropping the title from my pullbox, but am I excited to get it each month? - hells no.

The Ironhide mini is fun and reminiscent of the Spotlights, but it's early days. Issue 3 should be interesting after the issue 2 reveal.

The Bumblebee mini was average and filler. The story really should have been included in the first 6 issues story arc, but god forbid they stretch that out any further.

Wreckers was susprisingly fun. I didn't like the first few issues, but it picked up. The art was inconsistent, and poor from a story telling point of view, and often left me feeling like i'd missed something. This was especially noticeable between issues. The story was old school fun though, and I even gave a **** about Springer by the end which was a first.
