This series hasnt slowed down for one minute, and while this is a setup issue, it is a harrowing display of stakes for the Autobots while also being yet another brilliant character analysis for both Prime and Megatron.
All I know is that Im very hopeful whoever is following Warrens footsteps is able to character this energy along with the weight of the warfare. The art speaks for itself. Corona deserves Eisners for what hes drawing on the pages here.
