Talk:Mike Costa

Don't you guys think that his picture caption should be mocking his overuse of Humanz R Teh Awsumest in Ongoing? First Skywarp through the power of T.V, then Prowl from observation of humans, changes from a bot of logic to an self sacrificing idiot , followed by Prime telling that there are thing he can learn from the humans instead of leading his stranded Autobots. Finally we have Super Spike who single-handedly takes down Scrapper with kitchen products. Also maybe point how much Costa is trying to shove Spike down our throats like Shane did with Driff in AHM.

I desperately want to find some way to blast this idea out of the water, but I can't. I'll let others try. ---Blackout- 11:13, 22 June 2010 (EDT)

I dunno if it should be that specifically, but the current caption ain't that hot either. Costa, while probably more popular than McCarthy, does have his fair share of detractors too. He's no "deliverance" from weak writing, that's for sure. --Nu-Priest 13:42, 22 June 2010 (EDT)

The caption should be "Its amazing how one interview can make a guy from being as hated as much as Pat Lee to being the Hitler against Transformers fandom' Or something to this effect--Mrgalvaprime 00:59, 9 December 2011 (EST)

Man, how did I know that with one interview this page could so quickly become another hit piece. Jesus. --ItsWalky 00:14, 9 December 2011 (EST)

Ranking

"Taking his two All Hail Megatron coda stories as one, he currently sits at a total of thirty five issues across his two year run. This ranks behind only Simon Furman and Bob Budiansky in terms of number of Transformers comics written, something Costa is stunned by." Costa can relax now; James Roberts has two issues of the ongoing, 29 issues of MTMTE, five from Wreckers, and three spotlights as of this writing, plus Death of Optimus Prime, for a total of forty. John Barber's creeping up there as well, with 29 RID, Death of Optimus Prime, and two Spotlights, giving him 32 issues of G1 comics (if you count the rest of his work, he winds up with fifty-two). So Costa is at best fourth place now, and he'll be fifth by August if he isn't already.PCNTRP (talk) 00:35, 18 May 2014 (EDT)

Bless you for doing the math and pointing this out. Antimatter (talk) 00:56, 18 May 2014 (EDT)

I wonder how the rankings stand now at who has written the most Transformers comics overall. Bass X0 (talk) 12:23, 22 April 2018 (EDT)

I've not run the precise numbers but at this stage it'll be Furman-Barber-Roberts-Budiansky-Scott-Costa. - Chris McFeely (talk) 13:54, 22 April 2018 (EDT)
