Love Karen’s take on the Joe-verse…always in Hama’s corner…but the TF/Joe crossover might be the worst written/illustrated comic I’ve ever laid eyes on. Pathetic, through and through.
The Transformers vs Joe comic is freaking amazing. I’m not a fan of his art, but that book is so damn fun. I’ll take an oddly drawn comic full of manic energy and love for the properties any day over a GI Joe comic where they just stand around and talk for an entire issue any day of the week. The first issue of the Traviss comic was horrible, and the art sucked.
Well, THERE’S two polar opposite reviews for ya! 😉
