Uhg, okay, so turns out I can only do Transformers for so long. I forgot how painful the first 55 issues were. It's not until the time when Simon Furman started writing the series (taking over from Bob Budiansky) did the series get better. It got better for a number of reasons: Furman's attention to detail, his great story telling, and Hasbro's apathy as to what characters appeared in the comic as popularity for the toyline faded, not to mention most of the characters Furman brought back had Action Master (Transformers that DON'T transform, what a novel concept!) toys so it didn't matter anyway.

The pain in the butt is going through all these early issues back when Marvel would save as much money as possible on coloring by making everyone in a background a specific color made it difficult to figure out who was who (Is that Starscream? Skywarp? Douchestriker?) So I'm taking a break before things get to be a pain in the ass (Trust me issue #50 of the comic features every one in the series to that date, I anticipate over an hour on the |Appearing1 tag alone)

So I'm going back to doing my usual thing, So Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man it is!
