Some thoughts about Optimus Prime #1

Earth needs a savior and there's no one better than Optimus Prime.

Optimus is still trying to work alongside humanity to try to defend it from upcoming threats especially the ones that could be dangerous for both races.

This might as well be called purely "Transformers" once again since nothing really changed from the last series.

John Barber uses the beginning of this book about the iconic Autobot to continue many of the plot-points he created during his last series. There are several familiar faces that we see here along with new or more obscure ones that seem to be integrated into the story for specific reasons. Speaking about the story, it still continues the same theme of Optimus trying to act as an ambassador to make both humans and Cybertronians to live in peace although the former won't make things easy.

It was also nice to the history of the characters being explored including the mentions about the different Primes that have existed over the eras and is most likely pointing out to an upcoming storyline based on the future toyline Power of the Primes. The mentions of other more obscure aspects of the characters like how Jetfire used to be a Decepticon are appreciated.

Kei Zama handles the artwork and it gets the job done although his style can look a bit rough at times with not enough clarity in his designs.

An interesting jumping-on point as a whole, hope the following issues are just as good.
