[Devil's Due] G.I. Joe vs Transformers III: Art of War

Post by Denyer »

The first issue is due out on March 8th.

Preview: http://www.devilsdue.net/5pagers/jvtfIII01/index.html
Issue #2 preview: http://www.devilsdue.net/5pagers/jvtfIII02/index.html

I'm guessing one thread will suffice for the Art of War mini-series, judging by the level of interest in other forums. If anyone's picking this up and can write in a similarly in-depth manner as this, we'd appreciate the reviews for use on the site.

Yes, it's mandatory. They find you haven't, they'll come round, tear up the comic, stamp on your balls, and sling you in jail for a year.

Devil's Due would probably like it if people picked up the two trade paperbacks they've put back into print for the purpose, but it doesn't seem to be a very complicated story -- I'd say you'll be able to follow it without much trouble.

Right. That means you get to field all the inevitable questions he'll come up with off the back of your recommendation.

is DUke Omega Supreme from Cybertron? :D

do U have Scarlit pR0n? :D

Actually, considering the :smokin: smiley was suspended because of one member overusing it to the others' annoyanbce, surely the :D can go the same way, especially as it still reminds me of that Jimmy Carr HOTSPOT.

Oh, right, let's all get back to talking about the comic that's not out until tomorrow.

Actually, I should thank Devil's Due for that preview, as it's cured my comic completism. I'll wait for Fallen to buy all the issues, then go round his house and steal them. Or kill him. Whichever.

If I can pester you into summaries, that'd be cool. Don't feel you have to review it, though, unless you'd find doing so... er, entertaining...

Ahem, if I'm the only person who's actually goign to read the thing I'll have a go at the reviews (though it'll probably be better if someone who can recognise half the GI Joe cast did it...)

Which reminds me I've still got two Titan reviews on the boil...

Au contraire, mon ami.

The entertainment value is always higher when the reviewer has no clue what's going on.

Well, after badly misunderstanding a post of Denyers in another thread I'm now seriously doubting my ability to read coherantly anyway. Lucky it's a comic that isn't really made worse by illiteracy.

incidently, would the preference for reviews by Bombshell style "review each issue by itself as it comes out" musings or Cliffy style "Review them all together in context after the series has finished" style bananas?

I'd prefer getting stuff up roughly in sync with releases -- it's interesting to read stuff including reactions rather than just retrospective.

(Still, retrospective is probably gonna creep into my Infiltration reviews.)

Not sure what possessed me to buy this, but I did anyway.....

And loved it!

For the first time ever, I can honestly say an issue of this redundant crossover was worth reading.

Art was fantastic, and I actually found the story to be intriguing.

Some things were cheesy, of course, and because its a TF/G.I.Joe crossover, there had to be a scene with Bumblebee getting the crap knocked out of him. There's even a line in there where Cobra Commander says "Of all the Autobots, I hate that little yellow one the most!" Awesome. I wish someone would make a collage of all the scenes from these crossovers with Bumblebee biting it. Anybody want to do this for me?

Despite moments of uber cheesiness, really enjoyed this issue. And it was a long read! Much longer than most TF comics of late.

I give it a "A-". Definitely a pleasant surprise.
