  1984 - 1991: Marvel Comics publishes The Transformers, originally intended as a four-issue limited series, but given the popularity of the concurrent animated series and the toyline that inspired it, Marvel kept it going. Bob Budiansky was the writer until issue #56, and his run has a lot of the unfortunate "introduce a bunch of new characters because they are also new toys we'd like to sell" mandates, but he also managed to do some cool things (issue #25, where Megatron goes insane because Optimus Prime is dead and he wasn't the one to kill him stands out as a great one) and have some weird fun with it (ahem... King Grimlock). These are the first comics I ever sought out and bought with my own money. These are the reason I'm here blathering about comic books today. Read Full Review
