Reviews

[Paul · Rating 2 out of 5]

I've been reading a lot of comics that are more recent than these from the 80s... the evolution of the art style is something I'm grateful for. The stories themselves were mildly humorous, since the "future" where the Transformers come to Earth takes place in what is now the past. There are maybe 20 pages worth of modern artists' interpretations of the scenes from some of the comics included, and honestly those are so much more interesting to me than the majority of the book itself. Still a semi-interesting read, but mostly from nostalgia value.

Though I read this book a little while ago, this book had good stories with good art which this fan truly enjoyed.
