So I'm going to talk about this comic. Deadendia at least Now, and one of the worst handling of a relationship I've seen. The main love interests Logs is HIV positive and want an open relationship......and Barney the MC is just finding out.
There trying to make this guy a villain....and I have no idea what they are going for. Some people got pissed and burned the place down.....what is this fucking comic? Who is this for?
but for now understand the place IDW has it made new characters, gave us new mythology to draw on and made some fan favorites. It has a lot of love and people followed but it was not perfect. But hey it gave thrilling 30 Springer, and I can't hate them for that awesome toy design
IDW tried to mitigate it because THEY CLEARLY saw that this was going to be the big book and so tried to keep as self contained as possible while Robots in disguise was the shill book. Still there is reason to like both, Cybertron being this post war place was cool.
if you told me Swerve would be one of my faves I would have laughed. But this series brought new romantic relationships, deeper characters in some case and was a blast at times. But the series did have problems because at point you can see Hasbro wanted it for crossover fodder.
His run had an INFAMOUS issue where Spike a human kills a decpticon in cold blood and it's treated as a heroic moment despite Scrapper here BEGGING FOR HIS LIFE and WILLING TO GO INTO CUSTODY. It was not a good moment.
So here's the thing I don't think bad intentions were intended I think the problems with Arcee as a character come from one thing: Overcompensation, and for character like her I'm going to call this Pink Overcompensation and I'm going to compare her....to another one.
the first phase is called by fans the "-ations era" mostly for some of the titles following that naming scheme like Escalation, these books are kind of slow at first since this was when writing for the trade was REALLY starting to take over so most of the first series is...well..
They also had the remnants of various Dreamwave comics like Megatron Origin which was actually made for Dreamwave, but published by IDW, and Simon who also did work hated Dreamwave as well. So let's talks about the series. and the "Phases"
