But it's definitely busy- not a narrative flow so much as a torrent -and I find that in its favor.īy page five we've gone through visual things in small panels that would be the big reveal or the point of a story arc elsewhere- General Flagg's Bumblecycle, just to name one. The book gallops, and you're going to be well-served by taking a good hard look at any given page to soak everything in, but it is entirely followable. If this all sounds extremely disjointed, it doesn't come off that way in the book. On Cybertron we have Metroplex roaming Cybertron to keep the Autobots out of Megatron's grasp, and Grimlock as current leader of the Autobots - with Optimus Prime missing, as mentioned last issue, who else would it be? And the meeting between Destro and Megatron I suspect heralds the ultimate direction of the book- the ways in which man and machine, human and Cybertronian, will all ultimately intersect. I like that Scioli and Barber are picking up on connections we probably all made as kids - "I wonder why their names are so similar?" - and making something new out of them. In this world, Shockwave and Soundwave are brothers, and the latter's death has broken Shockwave's veneer of icy logic. No space is wasted and the story is still barreling along at what has to be a dizzying pace for anyone who's never read a comic made before 1990. This would be a three or four part story arc in other hands, with the funeral comprising issue one, the captive Joes' meeting with Grimlock being issue two, and the aftermath of the funeral and Destro's meeting with Megatron being issue three. Between the art and the commentary at the end, it speaks for itself, and it's up to you to decide if you like what you hear. Three issues in, I still feel an urge to defend the book and its storytelling choices because Tom Scioli clearly loves some of the same comics that I love and is having a lot of fun with their disused concepts of pacing and structure- but it's not necessary for me to really do that. And after the battle, Decepticobra sends an envoy to Megatron in the form of Destro- a meeting of the metal minds if there ever was one. Decepticobra searches for Soundwave's remains while Dr.
Meanwhile, General Hawk has died of gangrene in a suspiciously off-panel manner, and his aircraft-carrier funeral is crashed by "Decepticobra! The unholy alliance!" On Cybertron, the Autobots' Joe prisoners have been delivered to Metroplex to face the justice of Grimlock. Venom, "guest" of GI Joe, laments his being kept away from Soundwave's autopsy, instead working on BATs for the Joes.
And compared to some of the other crazy stuff in this comic that may be true, relatively speaking!ĭr. Look at him just throw the Bumblebee Corpse Cycle out there like it's barely worth noticing. GI Joe #3 is written by Tom Scioli and John Barber, with art, colors and lettering by Scioli. only one of the subjects is still alive! The Transformers Vs. Meanwhile two robot autopsies are planned, one for each planet.
TRANSFORMERS GENERATION ONE TORRENT TRIAL
A funeral is crashed on Earth, and the "deceased" crashes back! And a trial within the walls of Metroplex is a mockery of justice.
