For years now, we’ve been able to purchase toys and action figures of our favorite TV shows, comics and movies, but back in the day, it was the toys that created the media. My childhood was something of a Golden Age of toy-based comic nonsense, with the Shogun Warriors, Micronauts, Transformers and G.I. Joe all vying for attention at different points during grade school, leading to today’s $2.99 at TG&Y query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) still gives the grand prize to the adventures of ROM, Spaceknight, whose book far outstripped the limited run of his action figure, lasting for half a decade and establishing an important corner of the Marvel Universe, asking: Which toy-based comic is the best of them all?

I gotta say its Transformers. Consistently from decent to great for hundreds of issues now.
Agreeing with Malone on this one. The consistency is there and it has that childhood nostalgia for me.
