Finally got around to reading Dreamwave G1, I'm a bit mixed overall but I'd say I enjoyed it a lot in the end.
v1 and v2 start off edgy and a bit basic writing-wise, which has its own of-the-time charm in fairness, but yeah the War Within minis are viewed as the highlight pretty rightfully I'd say. Much more consistent art (Wildman's art on Dark Ages is prolly my favorite of his work ever now, the coloring really complimented him there), and had... actual, narrative themes, but was also still pulpy and with the occasional humor. That said, I feel the mainline comic was finally getting good right when it ended; v3 (when it became an ongoing) started to be more like War Within tonally, and Figuroa becoming the main artist of course gave the art a huge boost.
Makes me wanna reread early IDW again, seeing as it had a lot more directly in common with Dreamwave than I first realized, lol.
But yeah anyways Sunstorm fucking rules. Hope they do a new G1 Seeker mold sooner than later, I really wanna see him on one. (Was also prolly my favorite role for Jetfire, dude was a fucking badass; makes me glad I preordered his Siege reissue last month lol).
Here's hoping that The Fallen next year is solid, too, he was actually wicked in the comic. I got the SS RotF one recently on sale, but basically only because I wanted him as a silly jobber for Prime lmao.
