Hey everybody – we’re back with another edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’, and to open, I’d like to make the following plea to Marvel Comics: either stop giving Greg Land work or make him draw.

Here is today’s entries in the A-Z of Awesomeness, a month-long project / challenge / bizarre act of artistic self-flagellation in which I draw a picture each day, for every letter of the alphabet, based on suggestions from You, The Internet.

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.
