In reality, this issue spends a number of pages setting up things just prior to the movie and then rehashes the movie’s events from Starscream’s point of view. The issue really only contains a couple of pages of how Starscream deals with the fallout of the movie. In short, not much happens in this issue. That isn’t to say this issue isn’t good. However, other items within help to bog it down. Overall I wasn’t thrilled with the issue. 04/27/08 ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Transformer Spotlight: Grimlock An odd issue as the plots from the Devastation arc get wrapped up in a series of Spotlights. This issue wraps up one of the more minor ones. I found the issue to be unsatisfying on that end, but a couple of technical mistakes bothered me enough in the issue for me to really end up disliking it. 04/12/08 ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Transformers: Focus on Decepticons #1 This issue is a preview of the new Transformers series called All Hail Megatron due out in the summer. It has a couple of interviews, some miniature bios of the Decepticons and an eight page preview of the first issue. The material is simply not worth the $3 cover price. I’m not even sure it would have been worth $1 cover price. The real item to review here is the material about the series. |
