[webhead817]

Welcome to the Weekly Indy Comics Review Thread!

Every week we'll put up a "sticky" thread like this one so people can review and discuss the current weeks Indy comics.

The threads will stay at the top of the Indy Comics forum from Wednesday afternoon until the next Wednesday morning, after which time they'll be "unstuck" and return to their chronological spot in the forum, to be replaced by the current week's thread. Each thread will be marked with the ! icon.

AWESOME issue! If you like Transformers, and have always wondered what they looked like while they were on Cybertron-give this sereies a whirl!

This issue, we get to see a new form for Rat Bat, that TOTALLY kicks arse.

Also, a new twist is added, when we find out that there are several factions of Transformers, that are not necessarily divided by whether or not they are Autobots and Decepticons.

The phrase for this comic: Devastator vs Defensor.

The art rocks, and the story is pretty good!

Scale: 1-10 (1=waste of money, 10= comic heaven material)

Rate: 8

RUSE #25

How many books keep a sense of humour on the eve of cancelation? The whole first half of the issue is devoted to the flights of fancy of a minor character, in a riotous distortion of all our main characters. What's even funnier, is whenever our supposed hero petends to intelligence, he gets all his facts more than just a little wrong.

On a more serious note is Emma and Simon taking a train trip to the middle of nowhere (symbolic?) to finally dispose of The Enigmatic Prism. Miranda Cross hot on their trail. I truly hope both our heroes make it out alive, to return in one shots and mini series, when Crossgen is once again in happier financial days.
