CONQUERORS part 1! OPTIMUS PRIME struggles to find his place on CYBERTRON where half the population hates him and the other half worships him. Meanwhile, on Earth, GALVATRON doesn't care what anybody thinks.
Bullet Points:
* A new story arc that will have deep-reaching ramifications for TRANSFORMERS.
* The countdown to issue 50 begins here!
* Part of IDW's Artist's Edition Month promotion!
The story that has been cooking for two full arcs is just about ready and whichever way you look at it, its going to be one heck of an explosive reveal! Read Full Review
The first part of "Conquerors" is a decided success for The Transformers. Though objectively a bit of a survey, John Barber is not only writing a particularly interesting set of stories but he's writing them more to the best of his ability. Aided by Sara Pitre-Durocher and Josh Perez, his ideas come through loud and clear and look beautiful while doing so. There are some notable variances in the art and some occasionally awkward bits of exposition but more focused character work, dramatic plot twists, and some truly gorgeous panels make this a must read for fans of the franchise.

While action packed in places this issue is poorly setup on the human part of the storyline and this makes the stakes confusing. Despite this, story strands with Optimus, Soundwave and Cosmos hold a lot more promise for the continuing tale. Read Full Review
We barely touch on what is happening with Jazz and Arcee's crew, but the conversation between Optimus and Mistress of Flame is riveting. Using religion as an excuse to conquer a a less technologically progressed people is the oldest trick in the book of empires. This new colonial era of Cybertron creates all sorts of new opportunities. Should war ever break out again, it could easily draw comparisons to WWI and WWII.
