“Yesterday’s” Comic> Transformers Timelines #1

For whatever reason I don’t have the second and third issue of Transformers Universe, if they were even published. So I guess we move on to the next one. Fun Publications took over at this point. The comic also served as a program guide, although I believe this changes as we go on, for Botcon. It includes a story that, like 3H, promotes the con-exclusive toys that are repaints of other toys, some of which are classic characters in new bodies and some of which are brand new characters.

I either don’t remember spending $10 on this little comic or I was really disappointed.

Oh god, that looks like a Big Bang Theory episode title. I’m so, so sorry.

Anyway, this is a glorified Morning Article Link, but I’ll put a comment in to make it into something since the Morning Links are being preempted by Art Soundoff this month. My pal Hube recently posted a commentary to Douglas Ernst’s blog about Chelsea Cain, the writer of Marvel’s current Mockingbird comic, which she apparently gives a feminist bend to. How extreme the feminism is I can only guess based on Marvel’s recent track record. Anyway, the short version is that she gets off of Twitter complaining about how mean-spirited Twitter has become. And then the fan was an unfortunate target of misunderstanding. And the usual manure.
