    I would change the font. The one you used looks like Comic Sans.

    In the third page, last panel, Optimus's dialogue has "A warning to all who would might take up his cause" May want to drop either the would or might instead of having both, but absolutely brilliant work on these! Really enjoying your work and thanks for posting these!

    Look here, you should find a suitable replacement that looks more like a real comic font :) 

    Blambot Comic Fonts and Lettering


    I like Anti-Hero, Alter Ego and Digital Strip.

    figured it's time for an update and a complete regroup...I've gone back in as someone mentioned the font change, and then found sound effects etc..went back in and changed the original pages story some to make it mesh more so with the later pages...so, here it is now..

    I just read through the entire thread and finished with the full comic. Amazing. Great writing, and a fitting end to the war that raged for millions of years.

    One quick editing note: On what I believe to be the 14th image (including the cover), when Megatron is lecturing Prime about the failure of his way, he says: "There will always be someone out there ->zink<- who will appose your peace..." I think you mean "oppose."

    But otherwise its just great. I love what you've done. I especially love how you contrast Megatron's world view with Prime's, and the moral dilemma that arises inside of Prime as he takes responsibility for his failure to stop the destruction. It questions the ability of the autobot ideal to contend with an evil that will not conform to that ideal. He can choose the Autobot way, or he can choose to stop the Decepticons, but he cannot do both. Either way the Autobots are, in a sense or in reality, lost.

    What I like best is that you carry that through to the end and don't chicken out and let Prime out of it some way. Prime holds to the Autobot way, but in the end nothing is left except his ideals.

    Beautiful. Some of the best TF fiction I've read.

    Thanks man--truly. I really do appreciate people taking the time to comment on here..as it's just been me staring at this thing for so long now..but I'm still having fun..I've just literally spent the last 24hrs prepping one major page here for a tribute to all of the G1 guys..that means going through almost every episode and not in like fast forward but watching most pulling usable frames of each figure...god my ass is sore. But I mean..I had to find the literally one split second frame that has a G1 Tailgate in it..lol..and i had to do this with all the guys..or, well, most..for now, most..for now..until I can find more...

    But again, sincerely--thanks for those who take the time to post--give me feedback--I don't want people just watching--I want them talking about it too. Sharing it. Specially once the printed version comes around--with the full ending too!! Here's a teaser pic of what I've been doing all day..
    [​IMG]

    Tribute page to be placed in after the "ghosts" scene...a WIP with each and every one of these guys needing to be reworked, completed edited etc..after over 24hrs into it..still tons more to go. my brain is mush--if you happen to see characters I missed--I know there are some still--please point them out.

    Wow! I hadn't check in on this thread in a while. This whole project is really quite breath taking. The amount of work being put into it is just really impressive. I love the artwork. The way you're using frames from the cartoon, but cleaning them up and making them even more detailed, it really makes each page pop and feels like I'm watching the cartoon again, only better! The only way to improve it would be to have it animated (in your distinctive style, of course!) and voiced by the G1 voice actors! Well done, my friend. Well done!

    Skids, Windcharger and Omega Supreme are the only three missing that I see at the moment.
