All Hall Megatron #3
[...]
And the clues as to what happened between Revelation and here are equally well-broached; rather than speaking in heavy-handed exposition, they speak naturally of things they already know about even if the audience doesn't. (In fact, it took a few panels for me even to realize Megatron was referring to Revelation; I thought at first he was suggesting that a human had betrayed the human race, rather than speaking of Nova Prime's betrayal of the Autobots.)
He wasn't. Per #4, there's been a RECENT Autobot betrayal, and it appears that Ironhide thinks it was Mirage.
Other than that, fucking nothing happens in #4. Look, the slow pacing was okay for the first two, maybe even three issues, and there were some good bits in there. But what the fuck? We're no farther along than we were at the end of #1. The Decepticons have taken over Earth, the humans are on the run, and Prime is in a coma, for reasons that are STILL unexplained THREE ISSUES LATER.
FUCKING DO SOMETHING.
I liked the bit with Megatron and Starscream last month, but ENOUGH ALREADY with the giant robots STANDING AROUND TALKING. And enough with the humans. The only one I give a fuck about is Sparkplug Witwicky, and frankly HE'S kind of a dick, and he's in ONE PANEL of this issue.
The plot had fucking-well better advance next issue, or I guess I'm down to reading Spotlight. And frankly THAT hasn't been great the last few months either.
(I WILL say one good thing: showing that Mirage is the Autobot who Ironhide suspects entirely through the art was a nice touch. The storytelling's way too decompressed, but for that one panel it works really well.)
