Beautiful art, but have to pass. I'd have to drop $25 at retail for it.

Oh, look. That's what I was waiting for. Bringing back the fallacy of magickal gizmos needed for making combiners.
The NuIDWverse simply looks more and more promising with every new announcement.

Also this guy has the original Devastator toy patent on his wall. Anyone else heard about this? It’s crazy.

These bios are pretty cool. This is making me hope the comic has a lot more going for it. I like Scavenger. And especially since he’s my favourite Constructicon, it’d be great if he had some proper time to shine. I mean I’ve been reading all about Hirohiko Araki‘s writing process, so I’ve been only looking for truly great stuff. But this sounds promising.

But I enjoy Livio. It’s an opinionated statement. You may not like him (and some of people’s distaste is warranted), but I do. What makes an artist good is one thing but an artist that appeals to a certain individual is another.
