Reviews

[Franco · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent epic.
The Transformers UK series, which reprinted the original Transformers US stories, need more comics for its quarterly magazine-- so they had to produce their owns.
Writer Simon Furman intertwines his own take on the Dinobots with their long disappearance from the pages of the main series: where did they go, and what happened to them?
When the Autobots start looking for them, they slowly realize that the Decepticons are on their trails as well-- and the quest becomes a hunt.
Each episode of this saga is both self-contained and part of a larger arc, focusing each time on a different characters, choosing a different angle, using a very personal narrative . A raw delight for the readers.
