    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Jan 17, 2026

    Things continue to escalate as Megatron descends more into the Mad King of the Decepticons and Arcee gets a major transformation in Transformers #28. Those two things would be more than enough to make this yet another great chapter of this series. Read Full Review

    The Comic Book Spot - Adam Koppel Jan 15, 2026

    Transformers #28is a thrilling and unflinching new chapter full of sharp writing and gorgeous art that illustrates the creative team's willingness to push the boundaries for fans who grew up with the IP, taking the series in a decidedly more mature and dangerous direction (for the Autobots at least).

    Dan Mora continues to deliver insanely stunning takes on the world of Transformers (let's be real, he's killing it on ALL of the books he's drawing across publishers), and the new upgrades to a fan-favorite character were a welcomed addition to the Transformers story. Read Full Review

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Jan 14, 2026

    Kirkman and Mora have kept the series rolling smoothly following the departures of Daniel Warren Johnson and Jorge Corona. After setting the stage for the next big arc, the creative team unleashes some horrifying chaos as Megatron primes his Decepticons to resume their war against the Autobots. This was a solid opening act for this latest conflict. Hopefully, Kirkman can resist the urge to dramatically shrink the cast by the time this conflict concludes. Read Full Review

    Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez Jan 14, 2026

    TRANSFORMERS #28 delivers on the promise that this series respects its characters enough to make death mean something. Megatron's return as a focused, terrifying force ends any notion the Autobots are winning, and the balance between strategy and visual impact proves the stakes are real. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jan 14, 2026

    Kirkman is working with inter-franchise architecture  that's been around for several years now. The crossovers compromise the integrity of an issue that could have theoretically explored a lot more with respect to the title characters. There's a lot that's being drawn into the complex complexity of all of the different elements of the.Energon Universe. It may be a little bit more than a single issue can handle. Kirkman DOES modulate the script and keep the action moving with a degree of balance. It just isn't terribly satisfying for anyone who might be particularly interested in any one of the franchisees being brought to the page here. Read Full Review
