    But Why Tho? - Quinn Sep 19, 2019

    On top of this, the coloring by Lafuente is beautiful. There are a few panels showing foreign planets along with novel flora and fauna. These panels are visually striking and really capture the beauty that Nautica herself finds in these alien environments. The lettering by Tom B. Long, as always, is easy to follow and doesn't clutter the pages. The use of different types of speech bubbles also aides in ease of reading and separating spoken language with inner monologue. Overall, Transformers #12 is a great issue that continues to showcase the series. Read Full Review

    The art by Sara Pitre-Durocher is fantastic. I really loved all the details in the characters and the backgrounds. A really good looking issue all in all. Read Full Review

    It's still admirable what this series is trying to do for the overall Transformers canon, but the execution will leave some genuinely befuddled. Read Full Review
