    Exactly this. I fear that McCarthy will completely ignore the Roberts depiction of Drift.

    I (sort of) hate to be that guy, but if James isn't attached, I guess I'm not interested.

    Also apparently Roberts and Carthy are co writing this.

    So there's that as well.

    That's like mixing oil and water.

    I'm actually really curious how this will all pan out.

    I thought it sounded more like it was McCarthy running what he writes by Roberts.

    Could be that as well. I dunno but I know that at least this won't be a fuck you continuity like AHM was.

    o-oh god, you're right. it says Drift starts in november but "the next mini starts in 2015," it doesnt specifically refer to Drift as a mini

    No IDW said that their method right now is two ongoing and a bunch of mini-series )4 to 5 issues) for the foreseeable future.

    James has said himself in interviews that you wouldn't have IDW as is now without AHM.

    I find the 'fan' hate for McCarthy ridiculous. Go back to those Furman stories. Read the dialogue. Imagine the voices. No-one sounds any different.

    To go from that to AHM. I thought he did pretty great. Characters had individual voices. Cliffjumper was Clffjumper, Ironhide, Ironhide, etc.

    I get people's problems with it, but it was not that bad.

    And as much as you like James Roberts' depiction of Drift. No McCarthy. No Drift for James to play with.

    It's curious how Idw bounces between giving us exactly what we want (more MTMTE, more pre war stories by Roberts, more DJD, etc) and exactly what no one is asking for (like Shane writing Drift/anything again and the recent RETURN TO EARTH Part 4: Now with an even dumber human cast in RiD).

    I like what I read, except for the lack of Furman.

    I'm loving all this news. Sad to say but I'm relieved that there won't be anymore Furman.

    I don't get why that Drift mini-series was so hated. It's not bad.
