Can Cybertronians live on Earth?
Optimus is just learning how different this planet is from Cybertron but there's no time of peace since Starscream and the Decepticons keep hurting everyone around.
Okay, I absolutely love this by now.
Daniel Warren Johnson continues his reboot on the franchise by developing more of the current cast and I can say for certain that he definitely gets what makes these characters special. This is especially obvious on his take on Optimus Prime, there's a particular strong scene in which Optimus realizes how fragile the beings on Earth are compared to his race and it makes sense considering he was used to which also gives him a reason to take care of life on the planet, is the type of compassionate and noble portrayal that I feel has been lacking for a while in the character.
This contrasts powerfully to how Starscream and his army treat people on the planet since they don't care at all about them, in fact a lot of the Decepticons enjoy playing with those weaker than them. The differences between life on Earth and Cybertron are also nicely explored and reflected in how other bots like Cliffjumper react to humans to the point that can be considered some sort of racism.
The issue was mostly devoted to character work. However, there are interesting plot-points being developed like how the army on Earth tries to deal with the Cybertronian threat and of course, the build-up to the inevitable return of Megatron.
Johnson's artwork is still precise and detailed, being able to capture every expression and personal moment perfectly while depicting the action in an energetic manner.
Great read, really hope things continue this way.
