Great Newsletter as usual! It's great to have 2 reviews in this month!  The tips on water stickers is fantastic, I can't wait to try.  The catoon was awesome as usual! Great PSA!

Very pickey... there was another mistake "making deliveries to the bases of the men and woman that
protect this great nation."  

But I'm not pointing it out  :shifty:

very good newsletter, everyone did a great job.

1 thing i found a little confusing is the auction for the hailstorm, you said Thursday the 18th, but today is Tuesday the 18th, and Thursday is the 20th.

Great newsletter as usual (and I'm not just saying that because I have an article in it).

So here's a question for everyone - did you read any of Devil's Due's or Dreamwave's Joe/Transformer books?  If so, what did you think?

Almost all DDP.  I know they tried, but you just can't go home again.  IDW's Hama run is closer though.

Dreamwave was a fiasco all around.  Greed and big egos!

I really like it how the comic story took the form of a PSA with a special twist ;D

I only read DDP's WWII take on it. I only picked it up because it was such a drastic change from anything we've seen before. I really enjoyed the character designs for both franchises. Snake Eyes throwing dice to give his name was cheesey but the story overall was good and the art, especially the covers were drool worthy.

I usually don't like re-imaginings but I really liked the Dreamwave WWII series.  I would say it's the best transformers/joe crossover done and it was just plain interesting.

Now the original transformers/joe marvel crossover was lousy.  Completed mischaracterized the joes we knew well from the Hama comics.  As I remember, Hawk had casual sex with a woman and there was smoking and profanity (issue 2 I think it was).
