Some thoughts about Transformers: Windblade #7

Windblade will need to deal with one of the most dangerous beings she has ever met.

Elita-One considers herself a fair leader despite of her less than admirable ways and Starscream's own nature might be the downfall of both Windblade and him.

Okay, there are things that worked here and others that didn't.

For example, Mairghread Scott manages to include a lot of elements from Transformers mythos in a pretty logical way. Elita-One as the leader of her own group which includes characters like Strika, Obsidian among other is something that makes me excited about where the story is going and they fortunately leave a better impression than the Beast Wars characters that Scott introduced in the previous issue.

Also, the story progresses satisfactorily with several sub-plots being created and the characterization and dynamics between the cast is enjoyable.

On the other hand, Scott apparently got rid of one of the most important sub-plots from this work in a pretty unsatisfying way and that's Chromia's actions. After being guilty of the murder of several Cybertronians and almost killing Windblade, it seems like their relationship is all fine and dandy just because Chromia now "believes in her".

Yeah, that's a pretty easy and clunky way to get rid of one of the most relevant plot-threads from the series and it actually makes me fear for similar plot-points that are being developed.

Corin Howells is in art duties and again, her work is not really a good fit for the series. Her cartoony style can make interesting expressions but the characters look a bit awkward and the lack of backgrounds also hurt the style.

Mixed thoughts about this overall, hope that Until All Are One fares better.
