Some thoughts about Optimus Prime #11

Can the Cybertronians find peace on Earth?

Aileron is having doubts about Optimus Prime's mission and the rest of her group are even worse at that. Now she will have to keep them all together.

Finally a new installment and is surprisingly a pretty solid one.

John Barber continues his story by handling different characters and settings at the same time. While this has been a problematic aspect in previous issues, here is handled much better due that the transition between the segments are executed much more naturally and so the pacing is not affected as much. Speaking of which, this issue offers a lot of content which is mostly centered on character work but the plot also has a decent progress.

The fact that this focused on Aileron makes things a bit more interesting than usual since she offers a different perspective that is reflected on the rest of the cast in a compelling way while the story explores accurate themes about the differences between Cybertronians and humans.

Sara Pitre-Durocher, Fico Ossio, Paolo Villanelli and Kei Zama share the pencils here and the multiple artists can affect the tone of the story a bit since their styles are pretty different. The strongest segments belong to Pitre-Durocher and Zama without a doubt.

Good read as a whole, this better be sign of improvement.
