FAIREST #23: All right, I don’t really care for this story
arc. I only mention it here in Cool Shit because I love the fuck out of that
cover! Look at that rat’s ear on Cinderella’s ass! Perfect!
THE TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE #26:
God-fucking-dammit. The “Dark Cybertron” crossover has been boring the tits off
of me. It’s like IDW is trying to destroy all the awesome shit they’ve done
with the title over the years. But . . . this issue is different. It’s actually
gotten my attention. Bumblebee working with Megatron? (Or rather, half of
Megatron.) Starscream’s dreams crushed so badly that he’s actually given up?
Prowl willing to accept Decepticons on his side, even Soundwave? This book’s
getting kind of strange. Not only that, but Rodimus confesses his weakest
moment to Orion Pax, and Orion Pax doesn’t give him a feel-good speech? I love
the fact that Orion Pax gives him shit for it and tells him that Rodimus should
have given up his leadership role. How cool is that? And then, of course, there
is Bumblebee’s speech in the end of the issue. It’s even better than Rodimus’s
till-all-are-one speech from the animated movie. This issue turned me around on
“Dark Cybertron.”
GOD IS DEAD #6: Only Jonathan Hickman would have all the
gods come back to earth, and the top minds of our world turn themselves into
gods in order to save humanity . . . only to have the new gods get big heads
and want to rule in their own right. Judging from how this issue ends, I have
no idea how Avatar Press will continue this story. It should end here. But
there are ads for further issues. A part of me is afraid to find out how they
continue, but I’m more consumed by my curiosity. My favorite part of this
issue? When Zeus faces off against Stephen Haw—I mean, Dr. Rhodes.
