About the author

Robert Kirkman is an American comic book writer best known for his work on The Walking Dead, Invincible for Image Comics, as well as Ultimate X-Men and Marvel Zombies for Marvel Comics. He has also collaborated with Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane on the series Haunt. He is one of the five partners of Image Comics, and the only one of the five who was not one of the original co-founders of that publisher.

Robert Kirkman's first comic books were self-published under his own Funk-o-Tron label. Along with childhood friend Tony Moore, Kirkman created Battle Pope which was published in late 2001. Battle Pope ran for over 2 years along with other Funk-o-Tron published books such as InkPunks and Double Take.

In July of 2002, Robert's first work for another company began, with a 4-part SuperPatriot series for Image, along with Battle Pope backup story artist Cory Walker. Robert's creator-owned projects followed shortly thereafter, including Tech Jacket, Invincible and Walking Dead.

Transformers #27 is a strong setup issue that continues to build momentum for the run. Dan Mora’s artwork is the clear standout — sharp, cinematic, and full of personality, making even dialogue-heavy scenes engaging. The story leans more toward positioning characters and future conflicts than delivering a major payoff, but it seems like effective groundwork that hopefully pays off in what’s coming next. A solid chapter that reinforces why this series is working so well.

A decent amount happens in this one. I especially liked the moment with Ultra Magnus. There are quite a few stories going on and I do wish we got more focus on a couple. Kirkman is still making it managable to follow along and not fell to flimsy. The artwork by Mora is also great.

Things are getting intriguing, Kirkman has the right amount of story threads spinning here. Dan Mora is making this fun too look at. Cant wait for more!

Really enjoying the new team of Kirkman and Mora, Not that the former team was bad they were really good but as a non Transformers fan I found some of the characters, action and stories hard to follow due to the sketchy artwork. It wasnt bad art by any means it just wasn't for me. With Mora's art, its alot clearer making everything easier to follow. Former Decepticon, Thundercracker has joined allegiance with the Autobots but will it last?
