review:

'Transformers: Dark Cybertron Volume 1' collects the first part of a larger story arc, but doesn't complete it within this volume. For that, you will need to find further volumes.



What you will find is a huge story with uneven art transitions. I assume this happens since the story takes place over different issues of the comic. Shockwave tries to remake Cybertron. There are uneasy alliances amongst the Autobots and Decepticons. There are prophecies involved, and a gigantic Transformer is awakened which has a role to play. It's all big and grand and a bit confusing to those not as familiar with where the Transformers are currently. I suggest this may not be the best place to start.



It's a good story, but it takes a while to kind of kick in. I did like it when it was almost over. I've read a few Transformers graphic novels over the past few months, but I was a bit lost at the beginning of this story. I also note that my review copy was a number of pages shorter than the advertised page count, so that might be the problem.



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 allowing me to review this graphic novel.
