Ongoing 22

The writing was interesting, but all I feel like talking about right this moment is THAT ART. My favorite artist AND my favorite colorist of IDW were both on this one.

I decided to crop a bunch of 100x100 squares for fun. Aka kinda icons (bases?). Feel free to take them, don't bother with crediting (cropping comics isn't art after all.)

I need to digest the issue before I can articulate an appropriate opinion on the core of issue, so I'll get to that in the morning.

One thing I do wish they would stop doing though, is this pull and push with character's personalities.

I think EVERYONE can agree that ongoing needs to pick artists and writers and stick with them. I'd be perfectly fine if the kept the line-up from this issue and just stuck with it for a long time.

I'm waiting on the issue that I ordered to get here, so can't fully comment on the content yet, though I know a good bit of it from all the previews. (Damn you comic shops. Y U NO CARRY GOOD THING IN MY CITY)

But just going to second the Mmmmm Dat Art. If the entirety of the IDW lines looked like this, I would buy it all three times. And would want posters of it to fill my walls with. Kon is gushing about Megatron and his poetry reading Sunday group.

I bought it almost entirely for dat art. Normally I wait for TPB versions.

Hahah. I reply comment in the wrong spot. Oh well, I am too tired. D:

I think it wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is if the editor made sure to catch the inconsistencies between the authors. It is certainly preferable that they stick with one lineup for the whole story they want to tell, but IDW has become horribly convoluted since they began to allow multiple stories set in the same 'universe' happening at roughly 'the same time'. It makes for a lot of things that dont' fully connect.

Which I admit is and forever will be my biggest beef with LSOTW. Liked the story well enough before they reached the end and attempted to link with the ongoing.
