Man,I can see where this is comming from. As fpr Prime he sometimes outlines situations he feels he needs to take care of personaly without having any of the Autobots joining in.

All in all as a comic artist I think this team effort has made this peice come together pritty well. Good work!

This is probably one of the most 'thinky' Mosaic stories out there. Very nice sombre tone. Like the art style too - something different and it stands out.

I love the story (and the truth) here. Responsibility tends to shape us in ways we don't expect.

I really like this! Though Jazz's lips are a little...distracting. But overall a great piece

Great piece with an outstanding final line.

Panel 3 has a small grammatical error.
"You and I have know him longer than any other Autobot."
Should be "known".

Good work across the board. And set around Ironhide #1? Talk about turn-around time!

Josh-van-Reyk In reply to JediFlaherty [2010-06-25 05:25:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, spot on. If you look closly, you can see Jazz walking away from Kup as Ironhide approaches him.

So they knew him before he was "Prime"? So are they talking about him as Orion Pax?

It's set in the IDW continuity - Optimus (known by that name alone) has been shown as one of Kup's soldiers before rising to the position of Prime (it's in Spotlight: Blurr if you want to look for him in his youth)

That was my reaction too....

But maybe this one we should read at face value a little...

OH!
I never got to read the IDW continuity...
I cant find anywhere online where they have it...

Crit:
It should read, "You and I have known him longer..."
Personal preference: I'm not down with Jazz's lips. That seems a bit over the top with the "Jazz is black" thing to me. (Plus, they look weird.)

Likes:
Kup's face looks good.
Story/writing is good.
Concept is very moving.

Jazz seems a little more eloquent than we usually see, but I guess that can be chalked up to "translation." It's a very good piece, and with a very moving final line.

Josh-van-Reyk In reply to JZLobo [2010-06-25 05:24:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I can see that. Though, this is a LOOONG time ago, so maybe he wasn't always so cool.


Oh wait, what am I saying?

JZLobo In reply to Josh-van-Reyk [2010-06-25 05:40:25 +0000 UTC]

Jazz was always cool.

I'm just going to pretend the Cybertronix they're speaking here doesn't really have an slang variation.

Josh-van-Reyk In reply to JZLobo [2010-06-25 06:48:48 +0000 UTC]

Ha, sounds like a plan.

I guess Prowl would have been a good option here, but he wasn't in the panel

JZLobo In reply to Josh-van-Reyk [2010-06-25 18:24:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, considering how Jazz has been retconed as Optimus's BFF (maybehe'sDion!), Jazz was the right choice.
