Since the early days of the war, Soundwave has been trying to connect to people and looking for an objective in common but things have never been easy for him nor the rest.
This is actually much better than the last few issues.
John Barber uses this chapter to explore more of Soundwave's character and show how he sees the world around him. The characterization is quite solid since we see the perspective of one of the most prominent members of the cast in this book, particularly how other people's beliefs are reflected on him which creates a great insight on his mind as well as revealing more aspects of the other characters. The plot also progresses based on this inner conflict that Soundwave has to face.
That's not the only interesting segment of this issue though since Barber continues to develop Starscream, playing with some of the ideas that Mairghread Scott created at the end of her work on Till All are One where she revealed that Starscream wanted to be and could have been something different. Fortunately though, Barber expands on this idea by showing that most of the time we don't get what we want, sometimes we just have to accept things the way they are and our actions are what make us who we are (which is pretty accurate).
Kei Zama returns to art duties and her work is still pretty good at creating complex beings and detailed settings.
Good stuff, hope the book continues this way.
