Thought I was going to drop the series with Johnson's exit, but I wholeheartedly approve of Kirkman's depiction of Megatron as 100% fash trash. And with Optimus Prime's hopeful but foolhardy naïvety, I can't not follow to see if he's still alright. ...more

A romp that feels more serious than a romp. Violence (that I think an overreliance on makes for weak comics) within a larger conversation with a child about anger-as-motivation. And then that cliffhanger. More Fleecs superheroes, please!

“Civilised life, you know, is based on a huge number of illusions in which we all collaborate willingly. The trouble is we forget after a while that they are illusions and we are deeply shocked when reality is torn down around us.”
