wada sez: This week, I’m going to be re-serialising Josh van Reyk’s full-length fancomic, Spotlight: Stunticons! Conceived in the same vein as Transformers: War Journal, the comic is a big collaboration between a bunch of different Mosaic contributors. This time, there’s a much smaller set of creatives, with Josh van Reyk handling the entire script, and each artist team contributing the pages devoted to a specific Stunticon. The Stunticons are a favorite of van Reyk’s, and he’d written several Mosaic strips focused on them in the run-up to this project’s release: in order, these were “Hail To The King”, “Forgive And Forget”, and “The Bigger Picture”. This first page serves to re-establish the team, communicating their simple character traits: Wildrider is reckless, Breakdown is paranoid, Dead End is depressed, Drag Strip is a try-hard, and Motormaster hates all of them. We briefly see Hound, Ironhide, and Starscream in the background, all using their Cybertronian designs from The War Within. Now, for the rest of this series, I’m actually going to be shuffling the pages around a bit, which I realise is bad archival work but which is logistically necessary (and shouldn’t affect the story too much due to its already-unconventional structure); if you want to read the story exactly as it was originally published, visit the deviantART gallery above. In case you were wondering, “CWP” is van Reyk’s own brand, Choose Wisely Productions, which I’m not sure is a real company. Artist Boo had to drop out of the project at an early stage due to his IDW workload, but contributed two pin-ups for fans to color; you can find those below along with clean art for Griffith’s cover and some preview panels.

Man, this guy made such a great villain in the MTMTE series from IDW Publishing. I know there’s a lot of excitement for the new Image series, but IDW’s Transformers: Phase 2 was REALLY something special, with MTMTE rating as one of the top ten comics I’ve ever read. Tarn was created specifically for the series by James Roberts & Alex Milne

Expanding eligibility for Canadian citizenship: Bill C-71 opens up a possible never-ending chain of citizenship

Bill C-71 opens up a possible never-ending chain of citizenship by Policy Options. Originally published on Policy Options July 8, 2024 Bill C-71 sets out to allow Canadians to pass on their citizenship to any of their children born abroad past the first generation and expands “Lost Canadians” to cover a much larger number than before. It is fraught with potential unintended consequences. The bill…

Transformers: Mosaic #607 - "Prime"

wada sez: For the fourth anniversary of the Transformers: Mosaic project, a very special strip was posted: with a creative team consisting entirely of creatives who did official work for IDW Publishing. Each of the seven characters appearing in the strip was illustrated by a different artist/colorist pair; the credits were given alphabetically, but in the comments, Ed Pirrie gave a list matching the characters to the artists—apparently taken from somewhere on Facebook? Anyway, some of the assignments here hold particular significance. Guido Guidi was a fill-in artist on Last Stand of the Wreckers, which featured Springer, and he’d also drawn the character in All Hail Megatron. Joana Lafuente colored the Perceptor-starring story “Lost & Found”. Milne and Perez illustrated the much-maligned Spotlight: Arcee. Josh Burcham colored Last Stand of the Wreckers, featuring Kup. And finally, Robby Musso's first IDW work was Spotlight: Ultra Magnus. In terms of the writing, most of the interest is in Hot Rod’s thoughts; he’s the only one who refers to Prime as “Optimus”, foreshadowing his own later rise to the rank of Prime. Furthermore, his assertion that he’ll “make this right” is an oblique acknowledgement of a very common interpretation of Prime’s death—that Hot Rod himself was responsible, having interfered with his fight with Megatron. The next strip after this one was also themed after The Transformers: The Movie, so check back tomorrow for that!

Yet another bit of artwork from C2E2, this one by Andrew Griffith.  This commission is of Ultraman from the Netflix anime.  Shinjiro  has just released the limiter on his suit, which means that someone’s going to get beaten up.  Obviously, there’s only so much that can be rendered in black and white.  I think he did a great job.

The original scene is here:

As always, this is a reduced-size, watermarked copy of the original to discourage art theft.
