Read 24 today. It was still good, but not as good as the previous 2. The artwork was too blocky, with some dodgy angles. On the plus-side, the characterisation of the reaction to Sunstreaker was spot on.

got and read 24 yesterday,
i totally agree with dannyannimus, the story was good, but idw have shot them self in the foot again with the artist a bit like when we had chee,
some art forms dont work for story telling, the new guy- sorry name escapes me- i like his work on other things like his star wars pinups on his website, but i dont feel he's very skilled at story telling, or at least his styling doesnt fit with TF's story telling, as you cant seem to get the emotion over nor has he quite got some of the anatomy right in some panels,
i guess idw hired him as he does alll teh art, so they save money hiring a line artist and a colourist, but i feel after having chee, who has very similar art, i think they went into the wrong direction-again from what we can see from mosaics and what not, there are soooo many great budding artists who would have done a better job,
in all fairness, some pages and panels looked rather cool, like some panels of galvatron are looking rather awsome, but otehr let it down as you cant see what is going on
as in comics a story and art make it, so if one falls down then it falls down,
im looking forward to the earth based issues now, as the art will be at a good standard, especially with marcello matere returning in issue 25!

Just read 24. Gotta agree about the artwork, it's all so washed out and messy, you have to squint to make out who anyone is. They do seem to have finally got round to a consistent character design, mind, so this definitely ranks about Chee.
Are those zombie sweeps I see too? Did the zombies not all get zapped away with Kup?
Just read it myself. The art was a mess. The pencils were likely okay, albeit a bit too blocky, but then the coloring kicked in and whatever chance this had of looking presentable died right there. Waaaay too dark, I could barely tell what was going on. Not a fan of the story either, though that's largely because the script was a step-down from the last couple. Costa's okay, he did a recent run up to this point, but Roberts is just the better writer.
havent been able to read anything since 22, i have to rely on someone selling them on ebay but no one had 23 or 24 and i dont live near an actual comic shop
You should try http://www.oneshallstand.com or http://www.reedcomics.com for all your comicky needs.

25 is actually quite good for an Earth-based story. Goes to show a smaller cast of characters makes for a more engaging story.
agreed, 25 was better, artist was pretty good, somedodgey angles/ shapes at time but good, story is pretty good
I just got this article off josh burchmans Da account
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...ticle&id=34521
seems interesting, chaos artist looks good in some of the previews- like i said he's a pinup artist! :P
but i feel this has ruined idw's whole secrecy of 125!
