I’m trying to build enthusiasm for a new TF cartoon, but I’m still not digging the Optimus likeness. It kind of looks like they’re taking elements from Beast Machines and jamming together with Teen Titans.
Hasbro and Cartoon Network have partnered up to bring Transformers back to the small screen, huzzah, right? That’s the way I felt, until this promo image showed up:
I love the Tartakovsky style for Powerpuff girls, Samurai Jack, Dexter’s Laboratory, even the Star Wars Cartoons and My Gym Partner’s a Monkey. I love the look, but this? WTF?
Of course, I’ll DVR and watch every episode, because I’m painfully addicted for a 24 year old.
But seriously, anybody, WTF?
I talk to comic writer Ron Marz about everything from his new comic First Born, from Top Cow, and Samurai: Heaven and Earth for Dark Horse, to being a parent and how Greg Land creates his artwork. A longer podcast at 50 minutes with all the dirt.
Hope to see you at Florida Supercon.

That’s what Rob Thomas is saying in a recent interview with E! Online:
As for Veronica Mars, Thomas tells me: “I think the best odds for seeing the continuation of the Veronica Mars story is in comic-book form. I had a meeting with DC Comics last week. They want to do the series. I want to do the series. It’s just a matter of making a deal and figuring out when I have the time to write it. And perhaps a feature screenplay will follow.”
I kind of wish it was going somewhere other than DC, since I haven’t enjoyed DCs other translated media projects recently. (Supernatural, Smallville, Freddy, and Jason). But as a person that just became a fan after picking up the DVD set, I can’t wait to see more.
I wonder what other cancelled TV series could continue as comic books? Drive? Studio 60? Jericho?
Better Show notes tomorrow.
