That is an absolutely marvelous cover. Loving the look of it. Definitely sold on trying out this series when it comes around.

Horrible idea in my opinion. The joe crossovers are nearly always dreadful and that preview image is ugly imo. I'll prob give it a go, but it will have a hard job on to get me back for issue 2.

It is still very much on my "give it a go" list.

Art reminds me of the ladybird books from way back. Yet to be overwhelmingly impressed by any GI Joe crossover...

I rather liked the John Ray Neiber/Jae Lee World War III one. Most of the other recent ones haven't done much for me though.

Yes, I liked that one too, I just wish Jae Lee hadn't drawn the Transformers in the Pathetic Pat Lee Pandering Pictorial style, the only bum note.

Did he get paid though? The writer didn't.

I can't say I've ever been impressed by a GI Joe crossover. This is what, the millionth now?

The best one so far was the one with Action Force.

I always liked the crossover in G2 (not the Megatron tank origin in GI Joe). For once it had a realistic vibe of the Joes being badly outclassed, yet showing their very human scrambling to save something, anything but ultimately not measuring up to a war with giant robots from another world. And all in a handful of pages as well..

So much fun. So much hatred in the comments, so sad. I didn't even think of reading those, though I knew while reading the preview how some fans would be reacting to certain things - and what do you know, it all comes out in those comments. Not a single positive one for what is a beautifully crafted, joyful comic. And they clearly don't get that some of what they're reacting against is deliberate on the part of not-stupid writers. Stuff that lot, I consider this further evidence that we're in a new golden age of Transformers comics! -Jim |

Love it. Ignoring the comments as the vast majority of Transformers fans are comics illiterate.

Ok, now *that* has convinced me to get this!
But I don't understand why Starscream doesn't change into an F-15.

I liked the preview.
Most of the comments are from obvious idiots whose inane babble smacks of inability to comprehend basic English.

I like the look of that preview. In terms of pacing, and the dialogue it really does nail the sensibility of early GI Joe. Scarlett shooting Duke down is note-perfect to her early characterisation. Love the sense of pace. The art style is a really good pastiche of Kirby's style. Shaping up to be a fun-looking title.
I did read the comments. I really wished I hadn't, it upset me. (Except for the person who was angered by the fact that Snake Eyes currently has a face seen on panel, that amused me - if I recall correctly this is not the first TF/GI Joe crossover to show us Snake Eye's face, I seem to recall that he is one of the survivors of Cobra's assault on the National Mall in the first Devils Due one).
