    Some aspects of the IDW/Hasbroverse, like G.I. JOE, seem forced and trite in combination with the Transformers but Rom The Space Knight and his world are a far better fit for the "Robots In Disguise". Read Full Review

If you are a fan of any other Transformers comics that IDW has put out over the years, then I highly recommend checking out this issue.
