Daniel Warren Johnson is a Chicago-based comic book writer, artist, and illustrator. He's worked on titles for most major publishers, including Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and Image. His current series with Skybound/Image Comics is EXTREMITY, a sci-fi/fantasy title he is writing and drawing, and continues to update his webcomic Space-Mullet in his spare time.
After 15 issues this is still firing off pretty damn hard. I'll admit this is my most looked forward to comic right now. This issue doesn't disappoint. Further complications for both sides of the Transformers war continue to get more complicated. And I can't wait for issue 16 now!!
Finished 1/8/25 - It's says something about the complexity of emotions in this series when a single issue can have moments of heartbreak, warmth, some visual comedy, and terror and not feel crammed. Johnson knows how to balance all of these moments with both great pacing and direction of visuals from Jorge Corona while giving the reader the right amount of each of the many plots. I'm particularly interested in where Thundercracker's story is going as well as a possible Nemesis Prime on the horizon. Another stunning issue!
these have no NEED to be going as hard as they are. goodness gracious me!!! i appreciate optimus’ efforts to collectively therapise/parent every member of the autobots
Great, now I’m caught up I’ve got to wait for some new issues 😒 this book has quickly jumped to my most anticipated and loved ongoing, full of action, beautifully art and incredible dialogue, twists and turns.
Back to the main story with Jorge Corona doing his best DWJ impression.
I'm still holding out hope for one more complete DWJ issue, with both his story and art. The chance is getting more remote with DWJ getting involved in his own creator-owned work, but one more issue could be the capstone on what has been an incredible run.
Issue does a great job at showing a motivational Optimus Prime and an unhinged Optimus Prime even if briefly. Hoping to see more of the unhinged violent Prime in the future!
