"Pod", part one! After their first explosive battle, both the Maximals and Predacons have allowed a lull to refresh and regroup. But when the first protoform pod comes down and a new entrant to the Beast Wars enters the fray, things are going to change in a major way! But whose side is Blackarachnia on?!
Transformers: Beast Wars #7is a very nice change, allowing both the readers and characters some time to breath and further adjust to the reboot now that the first shots have been taken. Burnham's writing continues to nail the characters while Chan's artwork and Sidvenblu's colours make some terrific visuals. With Blackarachnia's arrival and Burnham's teases of future events – including a very interesting video Megatron found on the Golden Disk – theBeast Warscomic is getting even more fun and exciting.

The artwork is starting to improve. The characters are finally recognizable; Optimus's head looks a bit large in the first few panels and the backgrounds are sparse, but I prefer this art style by far over the previous one, blocky style. Hopefully, the artwork continues on an upward trend like it did in IDW's ongoing TMNT.
As for the dialogue, we really didn't need Cheetor to assume and reiterate what was going on with Blackarachnia.
