Transformers More Than Meets The Eye #6 (of 8): Dreamwave - THIS is a
profiles book, a sharp contrast to JLA-Z. Siren through Tailspin, plus the
Stunticons. Mick may have trouble plotting stuff, but he and Patyk are
really good at character sketches (the literary type, not the drawing type).
They're definitely hitting their stride now, and the entries for Soundwave
and Starscream let them get into the mind of Megatron to answer the eternal
question, "Why isn't Starscream currently being scraped off a bulkhead
in Decepticon HQ right now?" A few quibbles on the art, such as the absence
of Skyhammer's outer vehicle shell or Slide's excessively Romitized robot
mode, but these are pretty minor. The usual complaints (no page numbers, no
detailed art credits) still apply. Recommended. $5.25.
