TITANS RETURN! Following the literally-Earth-shattering events of last issue... OPTIMUS PRIME establishes a new base of operations-AUTOBOT CITY! Its first visitor: a newly-revived SENTINEL PRIME, who sees a potential ally in OPTIMUS.
• You've never seen a TRANSFORMERS crossover like this before!
• Ties directly in to this month's MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!
• Leads into next month's REVOLUTION!
I digress though, the book is well written and Ramondelli's art lifts it to a level of dark beauty few other books will reach this month. This is not the issue to start with if you are a beginner and by its very nature of crossing over into every other book in the Revolution event, it runs the risk of alienating those with smaller budgets or no interest in the books that are merging with Transformers. It is however one of the biggest changes to happen to the Transformers series in a long time and that brings with it its own share of promise and problems. Read Full Review
IDW's Revolution crossover event is on the horizon, bringing together the worlds of Transformers, G.I. Joe, Micronauts, M.A.S.K., Action Man, and ROM. This, naturally, is wonderful news for fans of any/all of these properties. The only drawback is that Transformers #56 is basically just one big set-up issue. Read Full Review
The good use of the crossover while still progressing the plot from previous issues makes the book really stand out. It will be interesting to see where they take the plot from here and how the overall Transformers series will be affected when everything is over. Read Full Review
How does Sentinel Prime know who Blackrock is? And how does Sentinel catch up with Optimus and Soundwave inside the Titan so fast, does he teleport or something? The introduction of Joe Colton is also half-assed. At least the art is good.
