Description

There was certainly hype behind this DWJ project, but it was a hype born of DWJ's passion and creativity.

For a child of the 80s, it doesn't get much better than Transformers. Cathode ray tubes beamed us visions of the future and epic struggles between good and evil. Then the toy companies gave us the ability to continue these great battles with our own hands and minds, lips working overtime.

I had faith that we'd get a great comic from DWJ, and I was psyched to get this dynamic example from the first issue. I knew I wanted a transformation page, and this page was at the top of the list, with Daniel's trademark heavy ink action and explosive storytelling (and a little bit of Prime too).

Roll out!

Congrats to Ddubs on the Eisner nods!

From first panel to last, you not only get a wonderful transformation, but you also get some nice detail, panel layout, and pacing. A great example of why DWJ is a master of his craft.

As soon as you got Daniel, Warren I am buyin'
To make the best that he is on the brink of
DDubs is on the bristol, the ink is spillin'
Waitin' here for you a page of action

So if you're tired of the same old story
Oh, drop some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll out with changes
Yeah, yeah, whoo

I knew he had the vision, felt the Stars are Screamin’
Got me through my art Jetfire
I heard the Thunder Crackin', felt the Ratchet burnin'
Until you poured on me all the sweet Transformers

So if you're tired of that same old story
Oh, turn some pages
Prime’ll be here when you are ready
To roll out with changes
Ooh, yeah

Whoo

"K-chk Chk-lk Fwoom" reminds me of Saliva's song "Click Click Boom"

You're welcome, and I'm sorry.

Excellent pick up!!

Congrats on this fabulous page! Being a child of the 70s myself, I don't feel the nostalgic pull TF has on many collectors, but I'm loving this series nonetheless. DWJ can do no wrong IMO, regardless of subject matter

Can you just imagine how epic 80's this would be if he snuck in a Carebear? I know, your mind would be blown.

Congrats on nabbing such a nice one from issue #1, and being quick enough on the Felix site trigger! DWJ killed this book in terms of the action scene storytelling, including Jetfire here looking to make up for his legit mistake. That sound effect lettering :) And that last panel...killer sense of movement and speed!
