“Everything Is An Advert For Everything Else” – Tom Scioli T

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

“Everything Is An Advert For Everything Else” – Tom Scioli T

Post by andersonh1 »

For you Transformers vs. GI Joe readers, here's a long interview with Tom Scioli that you might find interesting. I didn't even read the book, and I found his thoughts interesting to read.

Tom Scioli is the writer and artist (along with co-writer John Barber) of IDW’s pre-Revolution crossover comic Transformers vs. GI Joe. The project spanned from #0, the company’s Free Comic Book Day offering of 2014, to the oversized #13. Its third, and final, collected edition shipped in August.

The comic features a self-contained story dealing with the classic characters of both franchises coming together to deal with threats old and new with a look very much inspired by Jack Kirby. Almost every major (and some surprising minor) characters from previous cartoons, comics, and films make an appearance. The series’ big finale leaves the characters in a place that is new and original, for both brands, but leaves the door open for future stories in this imaginative world.

Followed the link. That page loads and looks like garbage, which is appropriate for Scioli.

The quoted write-up is one of the most charitable things I have ever seen.
