A quick word about Michael Jackson seems in order, along with a few recommendations from my readings this week – we’re back with another edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’… right here!

First of all, let’s give credit where it is due – IDW have handled the Transformers license with great aplomb since acquiring it in 2005. Unlike the Transformers titles released by Dreamwave, which tended to do little more than pay fanboy lip service to glorified high-spots, IDW has constructed an innovative new universe for these well-established characters. They have been unafraid to make fundamental alterations to the Transformers mythology, such as Cybertron being uninhabitable or Wheelie actually not being a tool. They have also made the titles more accessible by eschewing a formal ongoing series in favour of a cluster of one-shots and mini-series. All in all, job well done. Shame the same cannot be said of their movie tie-ins, though.

Through some strange quirk of fate, it appears that we have made it to FIFTY ENTRIES here at I’M JUST SAYIN’…!

I don’t wanna make too big of a deal of this, but I gotta say when Manolis first asked me to start writing for the Nexus, I didn’t think I’d have enough comic book related commentary in me that I’d be here just about a year later. Actually now that it comes to mind, next week will mark my first full year writing this column, and that means I have been talking smack about Mark Millar’s tenure on FANTASTIC FOUR for…yep, just about a year! How about that, huh?

Now, I haven’t seen the movie, so I am in no position to comment on its quality or potential for continuation, but I certainly haven’t heard any clamouring for a comeback. Is this just another in a long line of bland comic-book licenses or does this series boldly go where few have gone before…?

Well, it seems these days I’m the go-to guy for Mark Millar reviews here at the Nexus – which is totally fine by me. I may not religiously read all of his books, but you can always guarantee that you are going to get great super-hero entertainment, and really, what else do we read comic books for?
