It's everything I wanted when I was a kid " it takes these awesome concepts and characters, knows what is awesome about them, and makes them into something, well" more, much more than meets the eye.

However, Josh Burcham really brings his A-game to his issue, as the colorization is especially rich and diverse. Working perfectly with the script, the emotions that are brought to the page are immensely enhanced thanks to his subtle work in the background and on the characters themselves. The low lighting and the focus on clearer details on the characters in the Cyclonus and Tailgate scene really do put the focus on the right place, as does the ominous background colors with the scenes featuring Whirl, Cyclonus and Star Saber. The alien energy, the action and some of the more down-to-Earth moment would be much less effective without Burcham, which makes his work on this issue that more important. Emotional, impressive and downright satisfying, this issue of MTMTE really shows that James Roberts, Alex Milne and Josh Burcham truly knows their stuff when it comes to exciting and fun comics. Here's hoping they stay for as long as they can on this title. Read Full Review
