    I just read the review over at Seibertron,
    That "I'm incorrigible" panel of Pharma is a meme waiting to happen.

    I read the reviews it is a bit unusual. I am not going say any more or it will be spoiler.

    I am still psyched by the both issues regardless

    I read the review, and it seems like the reason it was given a 3 in a half out of 5 is because it doesn't tie up every plot quite yet. Which I don't see as something which would take away from the story to be honest, I don't expect this to be the last we see of Shadowplay, or Aequitas or even Starsaber. Then again I haven't read the issue yet so who am I to judge?

    I just read the spoiler over at seibertron as well. I caved and looked at the preview pages too. I like what we've seen so far. I can't wait until tomorrow.

    If this issue tied up ALL of the plot points, I'd be very, very disappointed. It would be a bad move, since the more Roberts tries to cram in, the more he robs his stories of a proper telling.

    Agreed.

    Plus, I don't want every "season" to be 100% self-contained. Then it just feels like really long episodes. The immediate and main plot lines should be tied up, of course, but leave enough going on in the background that we want to keep reading to find out. That way we can naturally have new plot threads emerge to replace them as they tie up, verses everything ending one issue and the next has a whole swath of new stuff. We need overlap or it'll feel disjointed, like we started reading an all new book out of nowhere.

    It is not that I am agreeing with you but I can not make judgement based upon a review just yet. In some ways this series like Lost or Fringe it takes a long build and some arcs there seems no resolution. I want to see the issue before I make snap decision on it.

    Read some of Roberst new countdown tweets. From the looks of it we may or may not finally see the Knights and we have Three confirmed deaths/departures along with a new addition.

    New addition is obviously Getaway.

    Deaths:
    Minimus Ambus
    Ambulon
    Dai Atlas

    So unless Tailgate is attached to Minumus's body and put in the armor, the cure is given to him. And that Pharma pic makes me believe he is the one to pull it off.

    So unless someone else dies, Dai Atlas is probably dead. And so easily. Kinda mad about that actually......

    I´ll eat my keyboard if the new addition is Star Saber. But it´s probably Skid´s partner. As for Death´s, Dai Atlas, Minimus and leaves another one.

    He could be referring to #21 itself and not the entire arc (unless that's what he specified).

    I was thinking moreso to the issue itself, rather than including Ambulon and Dai Atlas (not 100% confirmed).

    Suspect that Getaway will be the new addition to the team. Death's are likely (to me) to be Tyrest, Pharma and Tailgate (given the mood of the last song mentioned by Roberts, seems to be very much a 'goodbye dear friend' song).

    Yeah, it's obviously the issue itself. We already know that there'll be some death next issue, so if we're counting Ambulon, Minimus and Atlas, then there would be at least four goodbyes... which is a lie.

    Almost positive this is a Whirl quote immediately prior to sending Star Saber to his smelting pool death and saving Cyclonus.

    Sounds too formal for Whirl though, I think it's someone else, probably right after they defeat Tyrest and save the day.
