Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I was in this for Midnighter and Apollo, and this hints at their relationship.   It didn't really give me anything, though, although this is a microcosm of where this went wrong for me, and I'll get to that soon.   Even when Midnighter and Apollo weren't in scenes together, there was no real character development.   While each character spoke differently, they mostly all followed Jenny Sparks, and there was no real development with any of them, especially given how long this book was.  

And while there were some large ideas, there was no character development.   They come off as flat, and by that I mean every single character.  I didn't relate, I didn't come to care for them, and I found myself losing interest at a couple points in time. 

I'm hoping that Millar - for all the sexism and homophobia and over the top violence - does more with the characters.   Yes, the ideas were neat, but nothing that I connected with or liked so much that it really made up for the lack of character development.   

Onto volume two!
