review:
'Transformers: Drift - Empire of Stone' features a pretty good story by Shane McCarthy and some great art by Guido Guidi. The book has a pretty epic storyline and some decent humor throughout to keep things light.

Drift is back. He's kind of played both sides, but was most recently with the Autobots. This time around he's on a mission of some sort until Ratchet shows up to try to corral him. When a couple prisoners that Drift collects spill a Decepticon plot, he and Ratchet set out to investigate. They find a couple Decepticons out to rule the world. They don't like each other, and they don't like Drift. Can Drift stop their plan without getting himself and Ratchet killed? Will Ratchet kill Drift first?

It plays out kind of like a cosmic buddy cop story and I liked it. Ratchet plays the straight man, kind of like the by the book partner, and Drift is out in space chasing down bad guys and doing his own thing, kind of like the out of control partner. There are some funny banterings between them as Ratchet can't believe the situations he's gotten himself in to.

I've read a few Transformers graphic novels. I was never the biggest fan. I've liked some books more than others. This falls into the like it more than others category. I like the characters. I really liked the art and detail of this book. The coloring pops off the page.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
