Transformers #18

/ / Comics

Transformers #18 jumps around to follow the same separate storylines from the past couple of issues. We get more of the battle between Devastator and Bruticus as the internal war within the Decepticons comes to a screeching halt with the sudden appearance of Megaton which signals bad news for the rag-tag Autoboots on Earth. Elsewhere, the American Military catches up to the group of Arcee, Beachcomber, Ultra Magnus, and Carly. Not yet realizing the difference between Autobots and Decepticons, they attack and take Ultra Magnus prisoner. While the comic doesn’t go quite as far to confirm the group as G.I. JOE, this suggests the very slow interweaving between the two properties may finally be picking up.

  • IMDb: link

The brainchild of Kevin Williamson, 1996’s Scream enjoyed playing with the concepts of a classic slasher flick often satirizing them when still  using them to tell the story of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her friends dealing with a serial killer in a Halloween costume murdering their way through their small California town. Director Wes Craven hits the right notes to stage and sell the concept for maximum effect while the characters often remark on the various aspects of horror movies culminating in the movie-obsessed Randy (Jamie Kennedy) summarizing rules which the franchise would live by for decades to come.
