There are no real spoilers to be had here, so type away with entire plot synopsis's if you wish.
"Reign of Starscream 1" is a retelling of the movie Prequel comic and the Movie all from Starscream's perspective. The first issue recaps the prequel and movie, as well as showing Starscream returning to Hoover Dam, where we are given our "to be continued".
Written by Chris Ryall and Chris Mowry, the story is tight and well written, it ties into both the Prequel comic and Movie very well. The script is direct and most of the "dialogue" actually takes place inside of Starscreams head.
Alex Milne or art duties was a splendid choice, he has put detail everywhere, it must have taken him a long time to draw and ink each page, the Movie designs (which I personally dislike) look far superior on paper than the 3d models used in the film. His page layouts are clean and simple to follow.
I was not expecting much from this comic, and bought it fully prepared to feel less than impressed by it (as I was with the Movie Adaptation), and to pass it onto my younger cousins who will lap anything movie related up, but I'm keeping a hold of this one, if the script, page layout and art levels remain consistent for the duration of the series, we will have ourselves a new best series released by IDW.

Ok Mechabreaker, now I HAVE to get Wreckage. I've been on the fence about that figure, but with the price drop at Target on Deluxe class and knowing he'll be in RofS one at least, I'm making a stop by the store on my way home.
