Ancillary, non-main-line stuff. Star Wars TF, Speed Stars, Titanium Series, Robot Heroes, that sort of thing. They're kinda neat, but we all know they're not really that important. Admit it, you know it's true.

I'm not praising it, I'm just pointing out that it's not the complete disaster it is being painted as. And I didn't claim anywhere that it is highlighting the shittiness of either brand, that's you.
Oh, what an epic shame. This is not only intentional fan art, which is to say, intentionally '80s-awful, but it's also repugnant writing. It is the definition of wrong-headedness, how IDW agreed to publish this train wreck is discomforting, and how these panels are supposed to entice readers to jump onto this line is beyond me. I know IDW made hay out of the retro-comic thing with ReG1, but that's a totally different ball of wax. This is just wrong on so many sides.
If this is just a gag, then they have lost the battle by not informing their audience as such, since knowing is half the battle.
The first of more than one post by you along these lines.
Nowhere there did I say they were painting the brands as shitty.
See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?
