    Transformers #12 ends the second arc with a bang and shocks. It shows characters who are in conflict with each other, not just on the battlefield but in their relationships with each other. It's one hell of an ending that gets us even more pumped for what's to come. Read Full Review

    So Prime went medieval on Shockwave. Also that choice... geez that was just a brutal issue. Optimus is being push well into the utter limits of what he is capable of handling and I do wonder where this goes. This series has basically been pedal to the metal for 12 issue, the autobots need to heal and I have no idea how this new status quo will work out especially with the fallout of the actions. Cybertron will never be the same. Art is great as always. Also this is how you end an arc. Massive impact, massive choice, clear and devastating stakes. This is what keeps readers invested. Take note DC and Marvel.

    Transformers #12 can be summarized as the culmination of solid pacing and character writing as the second arc of Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers series comes to a climactic close. Optimus Prime & the rest of the Autobots enact a plan to take the fight to Shockwave while also rescuing Jazz and Cliff. We also keep up with Spike & Beachcomber in the side story. Artist Jorge Corona  and colorist Mike Spicer continue to provide the perfect visuals, along with impeccable lettering by Rus Wooton. The majority of the issue focuses on a battle between the Autobots and Shockwave's army. The script's choreography allows the reader to easily follow along with so much action and robotic body parts flying around the pages. Even with so many chara more

    picked this up after reading some rave reviews. the artwork is excellent, but the story was hard to follow. granted, you might have to have read the rest of the arc first. I'm always a bit suspicious of reboots - it's like they have an unfair advantage over long running series - so it will be interesting to see how the creative team develop the title going forwards
