“Primal Instincts” WRITER: Benjamin Percy ARTIST: Szymon Kudranski COLORIST: Gabe Eltaeb LETTERER: Rob Leigh GROUP EDITOR: (no, I don’t know what group) Brian Cunningham EDITOR: Harvey RichardsAfter a week off for family things, Spacebooger has sounded the fight bell once more. The post I was going to do I realized partway through writing it might not actually have a kick in it, so I finished it and set it as a draft for the future. Instead I bring you another fight I had as back-up. And of course it’s Ninjak again.
Obsession is destructive. It can blind you to your own actions, no matter how noble the cause may be. Agent Blue will make you do extra work if you don’t call him Lieutenant because even though he is now part of the anti-super group Inquest he still thinks of himself as a cop and you will call him by his police rank or else. In the same vein his brother was somehow killed during a battle X-O Manowar was involved in, and Blue blames him for it, and has taken his rage out on all superheroes. So when he’s hired to bring in Ninjak his obsession is still a problem. I mean, the man faked a hostage situation to draw him out, and he still sees Ninjak as the villain. That’s kind of dumb.

You know what kills being a fan? The fandom. I don’t come down against fans for wanting what they love to be better represented, and there are times I agree, although usually for different reasons. However, they do take the fun out of things and make you not want to admit you’re, for example, a fan of Star Wars seeing how that fandom acts. ICv2‘s Steve Bennet goes over his own issues with the online fandoms.

For those of you who weren’t here for the last time we did this, here’s a handy link. It has the history of how Pat Lee ruined Dreamwave and screwed over the people working for him by giving gifts to his parents using the money from the company, which led to him having none to give the creators as the company crashed and burned. He even lied to them, saying everything was fine and they were going to get paid. Last I heard they still haven’t.
Simon Furman later released the scripts for the uncompleted miniseries The War Within – The Age Of Wrath. which is the link above, and his run on Transformers Energon, tonight’s subject. I don’t know if these were sold like Age Of Wrath was but thanks to the Transformers Wiki and Furman’s own website we have a look at how the comics would have ended. I’ll link to the article so you can read the full synopsis, and just focus on a quick wrap-up (so it’s a summary of a summary) along with my immediate thoughts.
When we last visited this series a few weeks ago, Megatron had scrapped Scorponok and retaken control of the Decepticons, while Optimus Prime was trapped somewhere within the bowels of Unicron. But what would have happened next?
