Megatron Origin #3 Review
Journal Entry: Wed Sep 12, 2007, 6:19 AM
Well my friend Tim and I, engaged in so much hopped, fanfic making comic geek love we almost forgot to argue over the freshly arrived Megatron Origin #3 comics.
I got the Alex Milne esoteric cover. Not to state I don't love Marcelo Matere's oblique punk rock statement glyphic number.
Cos I do!
I'm going to be heretical again aren't I?
I liked it.
The colouring change on pages 16, 17, 19 threw me a little and the immediacy of the Decepticons being taken down was quite the shocker but all in all a really likable piece with ripples and influence for and from all Transformer comic houses not just IDW.
The cyber-trophy cannibalism is like a swift tip of the cap to Rodimus' flashback in Five Faces of Darkness in which we are shown the Constructicons building Megatron, evoking that almost Vampiric aesthetic quality the Decepticons took on post-movie.
The balcony speech reminded me of a piece of Dreamwave artwork chronicling the Decepticon origin, but from a new more crowd orientated angle.
What particularly tickled me was the way we see Elita/Ariel's, Orion's and Alpha Trion's faces but not that of the Magnus/Dion model, giving him a whole:
"1337 ninja ghost face killa"
Quality.
The slush/slash/snuggle elements between Starscream and Megatron weren't so immediately apparent with Eric Holme's script and Neil Uyetake's lettering in place, but the final panels of Megatron's face falling as he was seemingly betrayed were almost tragic romance.
I say seemingly betrayed because Starscream does state that she/he can guarantee not only hir future but Theirs aswell.
So yes, really liked it. I think and this is the Space Monkey within talking, but I would've loved the 'Cons to have pulled a stunt like Tyler leads everyone on in Fight Club.
Right down to an elastic band around Prowl's winky.

the autopsy is a scientific investigation involving more or less complete dissection of the dead body.
