Guido and HOS are back? Thanks for saving my day!

 

Haven't really liked the Infestation series but I do have and enjoyed the HoS series. I'll keep these on my wish list when they release the TPB.

 

Hell yes to this! The first one seriously sucked and I love 95% of the IDW GI Joe and Transformer stuff.

 

My thoughts exactly. Maybe the writer will be better than those other 2 hacks who wrote the first one as well as that horrible Heart of Darkness. But even so, I'm just not a fan of mixing all that zombie/wizzard/demon/vampire kind of crap with my Transformers.

 

I`m In !

 

Its Infestation.

I don't think you'll like it no matter how good it could be.

 

The concept of "Infestation" I thought was a really good idea, but I agree that the execution in the Transformer and G.I. Joe issues seemed a bit stilted and awkward. IDW had a chance to really go big, but they an underwhelming job. The Transformers arc seemed too camp and the G.I. Joe story was so small scale. However, just like the first Infestation I'm curious to see what this one will be like, especially now that they've replaced the zombie menace with that of H.P. Lovecraft's 'Old Ones'.

Setting the Transformers arc of the new crossover in the "Hearts of Steel" timeline actually make sense as Lovecraft's works are based in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, so on IDW's part it's a very shrewd move. Personally I think IDW should stop using their other properties, focus on just Transformers and G.I. Joe crossing over using the Infestation idea exclusively.

 

Pass.

 

Which is exactly why I said even if the writing's better, I still probably won't like it.

 

wow.....they are reallllllyyy stretching for comic ideas for massive verse spannign crossovers huh? Long gone are the days of books NOT intertwining with one another every month...Man i miss the 80's.

 

And here I thought Soundwave filled our Tentacle quota  

 

not until he shows up in some hentai he dont lol.

 

Is it bad that I'm more excited for the TMNT part of the crossover than the TF part?

 

I'm sorry this is off topic, but I've just checked out your Go! Giant Robot! blog, and the top video of a Decepticon cooking class just had me rolling, especially Soundwave. The voices in it were great, and it looked polished as well. Great job! Thanks.

 

But will it include My Little Pony?

 

When I first heard of Evolutions I was way excited.
I thought it was a great way to do G2, RID and even crazier stories.
It never happened.

That's not exactly true. All Hail Megatron was obviously an 'Elseworlds' story. They just forced it into the main continuity and pretended that was the plan all along.

Um... WHAT?
This is news to me.

Anyone got any info on this?

 

Sadly im not sure that would make this storyline crossover any worse.  

 

Check the news archives. It was said a while back that the current TF ongoing was coming to a close, with two new TF ongoings launching afterwards (one done by the LSOTW team, the other by a well-received team that I forget the names of...)
