To tell a different story? To tell another part of the same story?
Stuart Moore wrote TF/Avengers, why did he need to write Spotlight Ramjet as well?
Robert Rodriguez made From Dusk Till Dawn, why did he need to make Planet Terror?
Why do musicians bother recording b-sides once they've already done an album?

But he has twelve issues to tell the story. He shouldn't need one more issue to wrap it up.

Do we know it's wrapping it up? It could be a coda issue. It could be dealing with something that needed addressing but didn't fit into the style or pace of the main series. You follow that logic to its' ultimate conclusion and you should be asking why Furman gets spotlights when he has so many other issues to work with.Energon Hot Shot wrote:But he has twelve issues to tell the story.

I'm not a fan of what I've seen of AHM, and McCarthy sounds like an arse. But If I'm going to hit him with a baseball bat, I'd prefer it if the handle wasn't covered in shit.

Furman had four issues to tell Stormbringer. He shouldn't have needed Spotlights Shockwave and Soundwave to flesh out the background to what was going on. [/your logic]*Energon Hot Shot wrote:But he has twelve issues to tell the story. He shouldn't need one more issue to wrap it up.
And if you're making the assumption that it's going to be "wrapping it up", then you're implying that the next Spotlight isn't going to be until a year from now. Do you actually believe that?
How does the fact that he's telling a story in AHM ban McCarthy from being allowed to tell other tales at the same time? From what you're saying, it seems the only way you'd allow it is if it had absolutely no connection whatsoever to the other storyline. Because ignoring established continuity altogether is just what we need more of, isn't it?
* - If you really want to see a story that spills over into more issues than it should have done, pick any Marvel "event" from the past few years. House of M, Civil War, World War Hulk. These all had their own book, but still had plot strands expanded on in the other titles. The difference here is that that's what the Spotlight line is meant for.

Smokescreen? I mean, if you're after someone who could single-handedly liberate Earth, he's the only plausible candidate.
I doubt McCarthy has heard of Roddy. Or if he does it'll be "Yeh d00d, he was that fag Autobot who wasn't any good. MEGATRON ROCKS AND KICKS ASS!".
It does look emo enough to be Roddy, though.

As long as it's a good story, I could care less who the spotlight focuses on. I've been easily impressed so far with the Spotlight series (mainly because I am a Heavy Metal Magazine fan and whatnot, and they use split story lines to connect to a bigger story). And on the subject of "why an artist shouldn't be allowed to do this or that... blah blah blah", what is your logic exactly why an artist/writer/whatever "cannot" do more than one comic? I think it takes a very talented person to keep up with so many of their own works, and still pump out something that is an awesome read. Not here to flame, just am curious on the logic used. Anywho, it'd be nice if the unknown character is someone that has possibly been in the background for awhile, and needs a story to be told. I would vote Gears, but I know it isn't the little cranky robot.
