![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Weekly Rankings For 11/05/08 Here are this week’s comics ranked prior to reading them: 3. Iron Man: The End 12:24:00 pm, by ComicList Categories: Reviews, IDW Publishing, Geek Goggle Reviews ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Transformers Spotlight Sideswipe The Revelations arc wraps up with this issue and with it the 40+ issue arc that has been running for a couple of years now. There was a ton to wrap up and this issue does an awfully good job of undertaking that task. The comic is most satisfying in two key areas: the use of Optimus Prime and the use of the title character. The comic misses in that it doesn’t explore some of the plot threads for more than a few panels due to the lack of space. I wish this comic could have been extra sized. 11:29:05 am, by ComicList Categories: Reviews, IDW Publishing, Geek Goggle Reviews ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Transformers Spotlight: Doubledealer Let’s face it, this has been a really long series. It became all the more apparent to me when I looked at a comic from this series for reference, only to realize it had come out two years ago. This issue brings that much back into the fold after all that time. However, the winning combination for this issue is the action mixed with chaos and the puzzle pieces being put together by the likes of Jetfire and Optimus Prime. Oh, there are still a ton of questions, but only a few less. The art takes the center stage yet again. ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Transformers Spotlight: Hardhead This comic tries to do two things and ends up failing to do either one effectively. First off, it tries to give a quality one shot story for Hardhead. It doesn’t do this with any satisfaction. Secondly, it tries to advance the overall plot of main arc in four or five directions. It manages to catch my attention on only one or two. As such, this issue feels like it is all over the place and has way too many characters to keep track of. It feels like the comic is in over its head. Or hardhead. Ha-ha. ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Weekly Rankings For 07/16/08 Here are this week’s comics ranked prior to reading them, based upon past performance and advance information released on each issue: 5.
