  Transformers #32 takes a step back from the deep routed drama that has played out in the last couple of issues and returned to a more action focused issue. The star of this issue is the action sequences and how they set up what’s to come. This series does a fantastic job of making the story flow and taking readers on different journeys that all come together and make sense. Read Full Review

  Voice Actor Corey Burton did a hell of a job on the original animated series. He voiced Shockwave on that original series. It's hard to read the character’s dialogue some 40 years later and not hear his voice. So much of the series has evolved in so many different ways over the years. There was something about aspects of that original animated series that continues to resonate to this day. It really might be a major factor as to why the franchise has persisted for so long. The talent involved in that original animated series was just so good. Read Full Review
