review:
Cybertron is a dying world, and the Dinobots are one of the few races around along with factions of Autobots and Insecticons. These factions don't seem to be getting along very well. After a series of strange incidents, Grimlock is sent to find out what happened. His investigation will lead him into areas of Cybertron where he is not welcome.
The whole thing plays a bit like a noir detective novel. The planet is dark and moody, the suspects are uncooperative, and Grimlock is more grouchy than likeable. When he discovers real dinosaurs on the planet, there are pretty great scenes of Grimlock fighting a real T-Rex.
It’s a different type of story for a Transformers book, but it’s got plenty of action. Art by Michael Gaydos and Beni Lobel is especially good. Apparently, the story takes place after season 2 of the animated series. I really liked the mood of the story and locations, and the fight scenes with real dinosaurs were pretty epic.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.
