Daniel Warren Johnson and Jorge Corona nailed it with transformers #23! Megatron’s frustration with Starscream is turned up to 11 in this issue, though much more intense it echos the G1 cartoon perfectly. Prime’s journey through the Matrix reminds me of the season three mini-series Five Faces of Darkness where Rodimus Prime does the same, however the corruption of the Matrix makes this journey more interesting. The final fate of Sparkplug (Sparky) and Spike seems to come to it’s conclusion with this issue and though it’s hurried it is satisfying. Ultra Magnus is written so well and drawn even better … the BIG two page splash was epic. Without revealing too much - I’ll just say - THIS is an issue you will not want to miss and it should be on top of your “to read stack”. I highly HIGHLY recommend this issue and the entire series up to this point! more
