Once I get all the missing issue & after the series is over I'll be re reading the whole set but this time without reading the back pages. I've not re read any of the DW/DDP issues more than once & can't remember anything that happens so might read them beore AHM

I've loved the art. Kept up with all the cover variants so I have a huge pile of these. The only ones I don't have are the Yesteryear Comics ones because they cost so much.

I do hope the finale actually has some robots in it. It's all gone very Joe focused recently.

That piece feels like regular old internet parania and over reaction. IDW have already said GI Joe: RAH will continue as its own thing. As will Jem and I'll be more than surprised if MLP joins the crossover.

Ah! Good. Question is, how many cover variants will it rack up...

I just need to get #12,13 now to have the full series. But want to see what these are "Additional writing/art pages 4,18,20,35,36,43"

What an ending to a series.
Burned through so many ideas, and didn't outstay it's welcome, which something like this has a chance to do.
I will miss the book, but I will look forward to a splendid HC version.
I do recommend if you enjoyed this that you pick up Tom Scioli's American Barbarian when it gets re-released or Godland which he worked on with Joe Casey.

What a beautifully affectionate conclusion! Loads of shocks, loads of smiles, loads of fun. One of the most entertaining comics I've read in a long while.
I realise now why I liked this book; it's because the imagination in it is very child-like. It's like the stories kids make up when playing with toys, but with the hindsight of over thirty years of history to homage at the same time.
Brilliant. "I was talking to the matrix" is still making me chuckle.

Those pages use images from the older comics as faded backdrops where the action in the story relates to older events. There a gorgeous montage of Megatron images from various old issues, so the original writers/artists are credited. |

Blimey, so the exclusives weren't sale or return then. £100 is quite a markup on the Terrorsaur, he was only £30 to attendees.

The other two are double what they cost at the con too, but then in the organiser's defence I suppose he's only going for market prices and probably looking to recoup the cost of the outlay. More power to him if he can sell them at that price.

Sheer greed. I understand they have to sell higher outwith the event and a mark-up is also required but at well over double the price? No business from me!

I read the Volume 2 trade (issues #5-9) courtesy of the library which picks up after I dropped the book due to its 'an issue comes out who knows when' schedule. Hmmm. There's some great stuff in there but it also becomes more obvious that A: the joke is pretty much tapped out by this point and B: some of is just downright incoherent. I just can't shake the feeling this approach would have been best suited to a fixed length mini of 4-6 issues. There is undeniably brilliance in here but it's all over the place. It swings between inspired and undisciplined sometimes within the context of a single panel.

Is he by Jove, by jingo, by... another word that starts with j.
What may this mean... Is the last trade out yet? Is it bonus art?

Post by Andy Turnbull on Sept 18, 2016 17:18:49 GMT
Think it's just bonus art, and warm-ups rather than anything new as such.
He's on to Super Powers now which will be the back up in CAVE CARSON HAS A ROBOT EYE from DC out next month.
