Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

When young, out-of-time Scott finds out his father is not only alive, but dating a cat-skunk lady, and is a captain of a space pirates crew, Scott does the only logical thing.   Who wouldn't go with Chris Summers, aka Corsair, and his Starjammers?

I figured maybe the space pirate thing will make it more palatable, as I've never really liked Cyclops.   It turns out this was a fun ride.   The space pirates make everything better.    Also, seeing Scott get punched in the mouth by his father is amusing to me.   (It's not as bad as it sounds; it's the only way to save their lives at that point.)

It makes Scott young and vulnerable and confused, and even better, likable.   It gives him something to worry about - his father isn't only living a dangerous lifestyle, but also possibly a drug addict.  It feels real.  I mean, other than the space pirates.   Because sadly space pirates don't exist. 

The art is also beautiful.   And the way that Scott and Hepzibah, his new almost-Step-mother banter, or the way he and his dad banter, is lovely.   So is how Chris navigates trying to be a father after all the horrors he's seen, or the way that he doesn't know how to be a father because he hasn't been up until then.  

I'll continue on when more issues become available in the Unlimited subscription.
