>"In the pandemic, I got bored, and I got sad. I found myself wanting to go back to simpler times. I bought an embarrassing number of very expensive, very complicated Transformers statues. They would sometimes take the better part of a full day to assemble them. I would just stare at them for hours after I was done, thinking back to my love of G.I. Joe and Transformers. In that dark period of time, it was a beacon of powerful nostalgia that helped me immensely.>"So when I heard that the licenses were up for grabs, I scrambled the team at Skybound. A few short months later, we were hard at work on what became the Energon Universe. The work that we as a company have done in this line of books is something I'm very proud of. What we've accomplished is right up there with The Walking Dead and Invincible, in my opinion, taking those well-known, well-loved franchises and turning them into something new: a deeply interconnected universe that is woven together with very tight continuity, injected with new characters. Void Rivals is honestly something I'm as excited to work on as I would be as a fan to read it. I just love it. "It's really opened my eyes to the intoxicating power of a well-established brand and a built-in fan base.https://bleedingcool.com/comics/robert-kirkmans-comicspro-keynote-speech-i-dont-care-for-batman/So yeah Kirkman getting bored during COVID is why the Energon Universe is a thing
>>153493935He's had a Transformers story to tell since he was a child.
>>153493564Does anyone ever care about MASK?
>>153493990It has its fans but said fans are mostly in it for the toys than the actual fiction (which can be enjoyable but is a total slog to marathon)The problem with M.A.S.K. is that even for toy show standards, the actual characters don't have "focus episodes"You know how even minor Joes and Transformers get their own dedicated episode fleshing out their character?M.A.S.K. doesn't have that No seriously, you can replace anyone who isn't Matt or Miles with anyone else in their respective rosters and the plots for episodes would for the most part play out the exact same wayM.A.S.K. is a near blank canvas and you can already see how Skybound's depiction is different from IDW's even if they kept some of the race swaps and opted to leave out Scott
>>153493697That seems alrightParr's faces are wierd, but everything else was fine
>>153493990The toys were fantastic. If Skybound can make a book work, why not?>>153494063Accurate
>>153493990The creative team interests me, but I don't care about the IP
>>153493651alright this is old-school comics and I'm enjoying how fast it moves, how expositionary it is and "you think they're here to steal the borscht recipe from the canteen"can't wait to see how it slows the fuck down as an ongoing and treads water for three years until Kirkman takes over and starts killing characters left right and center
>>153493935ironically Batman jumping from the moon to earth and living is very much a Kirkmanbullshit thing>>153493971so has every other kid born in the last 40 years, doesn't mean his is good
>>153494565>Kirkman takes over and starts killing characters left right and centerYou mean DWJ?>>153494689Kirkman is rocking it hard so far. Leaps and bounds over Kill'em All Daniel.
>>153493735Doesn't seem to be permanent death. Optimus team will revive him.
>>153493813The Cobra-La guy who crashed on Junkion.
>>153494797So I guess the shitpost is saying Kirkman is the one who kills characters instead of DWJ and pretending to not understand how death works. Got it.
>>153493680Based bad guy squad.
>>153493680So....what's V.E.N.O.M.'s acronym here?IDW didn't even bother
>>153495271Very Evil Niggas Obliterating Mankind
>>153493787Neat,they gonna be pals till they have to kill eachother and little nigga will cry about his blue unc
>the Transformers storyWow. Thanks guys, just what I wanted.

>>153496173Word.
>>153494742>Kirkman is rocking it hard so far. Leaps and bounds over Kill'em All Daniel.Arcee Magnus was rushedElita Prime was rushedUltra Magnus bailing was out of character
>>153497984>Elita Prime was rushedAnd dumb.
I was enjoying Energon at the start, especially the GI Joe minis, but the ongoings now feel way way too stretched out.
>>153498350yeah, plus evil matrix stuff was done to perfection by the marvel comic back in the dayI blame the current storyline on IDW making matrixes for all
