5.0 out of 5 stars IDW = Perfection, September 9, 2007

By	T. Poe - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What can I say? I've always loved Transformers and finally there's a comic that lives up to the concept. While still being written by the same man who has been writing Transformers stories for just about as long as there are have been TF comics, Simon Furman, the IDW reboot gives a much needed chance to breath fresh air into a cluttered and stuffy story.

The modernized take, revised designs are all in service of the characters I've known and loved, yet they are presented in a fresh, detailed and intelligent manner. Truly this is THE TF comic for long-time fans.

Escalation is my favorite, so far, of the series, and I look forward to the future additions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Things are Heating Up, August 23, 2007

By	John Bindas "EJV" (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Furman does his usual excellent job of crafting an exciting storyline, even on Earth in the modern day. As the continuation of the "Reboot" of the classic G1 characters, this collection really makes for a great read. Plus, there's some great Optimus/Megs one-on-one for old time slugfest fans.

Great book overall, well worth picking up.

If your following the idw transformers story, or just jumped in to the story; this is a must read. It helps to build the story for the current "All Hail Megatron" series. And if you like Transformers (the real transformers, not that micheal bay crap)then this is a must read for you. Its a new twist on the old G1 characters. Must read this to get up to the new Megatron story.
