As Darak and Solila cling to life, deep in the wasteland they find-Springer?!? It's the first Energon Universe appearance of everyone's favorite Triple-Changer Autobot!
This was a fun chapter in what's been a slow burn, universe building storyline. Read Full Review
Again, the only minor complaint with Void Rivals is the characters and main plot is strong enough to not need the Transformers' cameos. Undoubtedly, it's cool seeing characters like Springer randomly show up to illustrate this Energon Universe is all connected, but Void Rivals is fully capable of standing on its own. Read Full Review
Void Rivals #9 is a blast from start to finish. Depicting some of the best action that this series has seen so far, the introduction of Springer makes for one of the best moments in comics this year. Read Full Review
Robert Kirkman is building a slow burn here, but it's not without its fair share of fun, action packed moments. Void Rivals is a piece of a bigger puzzle, and quite a sizable one at that. It takes time to world build on this scale, complete with some seriously intricate lore. Not everyone will be down for that, but I can say that this issue is paced extremely well. Read Full Review
VOID RIVALS #9 delivers engaging spacefaring action, peppy dialog, and the biggest Transformers presence yet in the spinoff series. Kirkman's script is tight, brisk, and entertaining, and the art team's visuals are solid, albeit too drab. Read Full Review
Darak and Solila continue to be two of the most interesting series leads. Lorenzo De Felici artwork especially shined getting over where Darak and Solila are at in this point in their journey. Read Full Review
Fun little chapter with a bit of humor and a lot of action; which makes for good Void Rivals all around. Read Full Review
While a VERY quick read, this issue focus's more on the visual clues than anything else. The writing is still strong though, and finding a cast member of Transformers who isn't grumpy in this book is very refreshing. Here's hoping we can get back to the character stuff next issue. Read Full Review
Void Rivals #9 seems like it has some key bits of information in an overall “good” issue. It's an improvement to the start of the arc but the series still feels like it's trying to find its footing beyond relying on “guest stars.” Read Full Review
Another strong issue, and the intro to Springer as well as the fight that followed was great. Things are not looking to great for Darak and especially Solila though so I am curious how they get out of this. This has been a fun series to follow and I know I am going to have a great time when I pick up these books. I haven't been let down so far.
