Well, Furman's debut US issue was what got me into TF comics, so this brings back fond memories...but there wasn't really anything new besides the updated IDW character designs. Jose Delbo is far from my favorite TF artist, so I'd wondered how that issue would've looked if drawn more in the style of Geoff Senior or Dan Reed to ratchet up the horror element, but this art, good as it was, just seemed a tad flat for the material. The scene is finally, thankfully dark, which is something the original comic clearly wanted but couldn't pull off, but the deactivated Autobots didn't look damaged enough, and there were only 4 of them.
It was a nice crack at a worthy vintage story though, and maybe they've already got a superior sequel up their sleeves.
