More comics!
Oh, man! Once or twice every month, I run down to the comic shop between classes on Wednesday (I have ten minutes to make a fifteen minute journey! Yay!) and buy the latest installment in IDW's universe, and every month after I get home, I only want more. These comics are not long enough.
I picked up the Soundwave spotlight last week. It was delightful! I am not going to talk about it tonight because I want to go to bed, but I want to rant about this first because I love it so.
Okay, hey. Scorponok? I'm not sure whose head that is just hanging casually up there. Whoever it is doesn't seem too worried. I'm just figuring it's Scorponok because of the Headmasters allusions (which I may just be imagining, really), which would mean Ultra Magnus might be making his way over to Earth soon, as well. Yay, Ultra Magnus!
But, uh, man, if they're talking about Hunter and Sunstreaker right there? That's less than good news. They're not going to try and bond those two together, are they?
Prime and Megatron talk a lot and try to kill each other all this issue. Not to say that it is not awesome fighting and awesome talking, but the leaders have never ranked up to the top of my favorites list, and there's only so much to be said about AND THEN THEY HIT EACH OTHER. AGAIN.
Optimus accuses Megatron of having gone crazy and Megatron replies that maybe he was always crazy and was just hiding it before. Then they shoot each other lots. The humans stuck out there watching this are all slack jawed and bug-eyed and standing in the exact same positions. It's funnier to look at, really.
And then Megatron says he needs no weapons because, "I'll crush you with my bare hands! bare hands will suffice" and I laugh and laugh. It is funny, or I am tired. One of the two.
Prowl doesn't have to kill Hot Rod (which is good, because I have an inexplicable fondness for both of them and would be upset if the one killed the other) and Hot Rod volunteers Prowl to be shot at by the silly humans.
("One of us'll have to run interference."
"Er, if that's operational jargon for getting SHOT at... I vote YOU."
"Yeah, thanks."
hee)
And then they tell the humans to go away, please and thank you, and Prowl admits he was worried that wasn't going to work. Gotta side with Hot Rod there, Prowl. Seriously, what were they going to do? Hit you with their silly human guns? They already did that and it didn't seem to have slowed you down any. (Really, the exchange could probably be summed up as such:
"GTFO!"
"...ok")
Oh, what's this? Prime is dead! BLACK OPTICS. OH NO!
...right, yeah, totally dead. Uh huh. Though I will grant that having your spark core squeezed probably hurts ... a lot, if Rampage (Beast Wars) was anything to go by. Also, Prime was looking pretty thoroughly trashed, but I really doubt they'd finish him off this early on in things.
...Though, uh, with Prowl failing to contact Optimus, he might take Hot Rod and go investigate (or Jazz and Wheeljack or whatever), which wouldn't end well.
Shockwave and the Dinobots are still being dug out, over in Nevada. It's more than his hand visible now, though! They've almost got his entire upper half. I have no idea what this "Skywatch" is. Though that's probably how it's supposed to be.
Sadly, we only got three pages of Ratchet and Ironhide (with special cameos by unconscious Verity and Jimmy). Of course, half of this was Ironhide crashing around inside the building in vehicle mode, which was entirely more entertaining than it really had any right to be. And then his holomatter form found those wacky kids and, frag! There's a countdown! Save them, Ironhide! I like the humans! And also because if you don't, Ratchet will have to angst again, and do you really want to have to deal with that? Really, do you?
There is only 3:19 left on the timer! Hurry!
Really, they could probably dedicate an entire issue to this group and I wouldn't complain in the slightest. NEEDS MORE INSUBORDINATES. Prowl isn't going to be happy when he finally gets back and finds what they've done.
Next issue is the last in this series. The next run's called Devastation. I'm so nervous! What are they going to do next? Don't kill anyone!
Also, there is a skunk living under the barn! It is fearless and likes to wander about the driveway and around the back porch. I am less fearless and keep finding myself parking very near the road and using the front door.
Working on story. Schoolwork is impeding the process, as I have three final papers/projects due next week. Ugh.
