Three-Page Preview for IDW Hasbro Universe: Scarlett's Strike Force #3

More social justice bullshit from IDW. *Boycotted*

The artwork is kinda crap, but I like the writing. Also I love that Snake Eyes chose a. My class of choice as well!

Oh darling. It's ok, the bad comic has already gone away, it can't hurt you.

I really wish this wasn't cancelled it looks so fun, and I'm curious as to how that game would of worked out (in fact just give us a miniseries of those two in the cells role playing!)

It’s a fun book, I just don’t like the lineup. G.I. JOE is supposed to be a rotating team, instead IDW treated G.I. JOE like a superhero book with the same characters starring in it month after month. I stopped supporting the book regularly when they trimmed down the team and put Shipwreck and Quick-Kick in classic costumes.

Outside of ARAH, is this the end of G.I. JOE?

So it's called Scarlett's Strike Force, but I don't recall ever seeing Scarlett in any of the previews. Is she actually in the book someplace?

It was an awful comic before SSF.

Hopefully GIJoe can reboot along side Transformers, we just need better writers and editorial.

She’s leading the entirety of the G.I. Joe organization.

You really need to stop sexually harassing posters.

You really need to just ask me out, instead of following me around the boards and trying to throw super-clever jabs to impress me.

I'm going to treat your offer the same way I treat IDW Transformers comics.

I'll pass and wait for something better to come along.

What age of comics? At least IDW is trying new things, since I have a feeling you don't like the direction these comics have taken.

Anybody else remember when we had good comic discussion?

We still have them but apparently things are becoming polarised everywhere. It's fine if you don't like something, no one forces people to read things (well not outside of school or if you review books for someone else I guess) but I have to wonder the intentions of baiting responses by attacking it. I'm guilty of rushing to defend things but everyone just winds each other up when it should be a simple matter of: don't like it? Say you don't like it and leave, don't attack others for liking it. Tastes are subjective.

Ironhidensh wrote:Anybody else remember when we had good comic discussion?

Honestly? There's always been a current of not good discussion.
Sometimes I indulge.

Speaking of SSF though, I am disappointed to see it go, and I have enjoyed the two issues that came out so far, though nothing as groundbreaking as they may have wanted to be. I like Sitterson's flair in some of the writing, but GI Joe just does very little for me.

Rom vs Micronauts is another interesting one, and its third issue is out next week too.

I'm seriously bummed this is ending. The art on this and the prior comic wasn't always to my taste, but I have really been loving the characters, and it's obvious there is a lot of story that won't get told.

I'm really disappointed in IDW for not supporting their writers.

I know ... it's like some people need to let things go instead of responding to particular comments and driving the thread off-topic.

Looks alright! Not a fan of the art but the writing is still pretty sharp.

The final, final preview from this week's batch of IDW Publishing comics taking place in the shared Hasbro Universe sees the two franchises of Micronauts and Rom the Spaceknight - both of which have crossed paths with Transformers already - continue their team-up in the third issue of their mini-series!

Check out below the full preview, and join the Energon Pub discussion on this universe before all the series end (in a couple of months). Have you been following along? Are you ignoring everything not strictly Transformers? Let us know!

Christos Gage (w) • Paolo Villanelli (a) • Fico Ossio (c)
At the Heart of the Entropy Cloud! Rom and the Micronauts enter Microspace in an attempt to foil the Dire Wraith’s ultimate plan: reviving a cosmic entity that would tear Earth apart. But within the Entropy Cloud, our heroes must fight Baron Karza and his minions before they can make the Dire Wraith’s dark prophecy a reality!

I didn't even know this series had released, and it's already on issue 3?

Can the Micronauts change size, or did Rom Shrink? I'm confused.

This is the only actual time I can use this response and mean it: yes!

(That is to say: both! )

So If i were to ask you if you were a Transformers fan, you couldn't use "yes!" as a response and mean it?

No

Definitely maybe.


I meant using yes as a single response to a double choice/part question, in which both parts are more or less true. I tend to do it on a regular basis, but in this case it fully applies, as both have positive answers.

Rodimus Knight wrote:Can the Micronauts change size, or did Rom Shrink? I'm confused.

To answer this question in a little more detail than Va'al, Rom is currently shrunk down to Microspacian size, and he and the Micronauts are in Microspace. The only real Micronauts character we've seen be able to actively change their size is Baron Karza, but that requires him enerchanging with another being (like Rom or Micronus Prime) to do so.
