As the first issue of the mini-series is due for release in July, this is a good time to catch up on the story as it begins - though be aware there are spoilers for the ongoing Optimus Prime series, too - and make sure to check out our review of the opening issue here.
Not a whimper, nor a bang-the end comes with a squall of entropy shrieking from the ravenous maw of death itself. The message is clear: Unicron has arrived. The Transformers lock into a desperate bid to save Rom's homeworld from the world-killer - but why has Unicron chosen this world on his path to Cybertron... and Earth? The biggest story in the history of Transformers starts now: for Unicron's arrival can mean nothing less than the end of a universe.

Can try. I mean it’s got a lot of references to stuff. I can’t imagine jumping in with this but for someone who’s media is the IDWverse I can’t imagine anyone being able to jump in anywhere but the start. Plenty of people do I guess with Death of Optimus Prime or post Dark Cybertron and I just can’t fathom how anyone would find it enjoyable.

I think they are saying the free comic book day comics aren't worth the paper they are printed on. Could be wrong but I think that's what it is.

While it will spoil literally every big twist within Optimus Prime, I think if you have the rough idea of the state of the universe you'll be just fine. If you don't mind the spoilers, definitely download it. It's free after all, and it isn't as long as a normal issue!MagicDeath wrote:Quick question: will I be able to enjoy this without being caught up with the main series?

Yeah I was there that far and then the tangeant about Stan Lee signing comics just kinda made my brain hurt because it didn’t make sense. Probably shouldn’t be having stan sign your free comics anyway. I don’t think he’s written a comic book in over 20 years.

I remember I think it was middle school I was reading Wizard(yeah that long ago) and there was an article about Stan Lee’s versions of DC characters and it was the worst thing I’d seen since someone pointed out the anatomy problems with Liefelds art.

Oh thank god someone else remembers that. I tell people about it and they think I’m making up blonde Superman in like space knight armor and he had a giant S on his chest and 2 tiny Ss on his shoulders where his cape is connected . It’s like burned into my brain

He wrote this one a few years back

But if they don't end it fully and make it like new 52 where it is a reboot of sorts, I wouldn't prefer it. Since well they would be lying to us.
I honestly am more interested in the truth of their claims more than the actual comics lol

It's not throwing anything away

Nothing lasts forever and reboots are often both a sound business decision and a necessity, more frequently in this day and age of limited attention spans and quicker, marketing-based turn over. The era wherein you could be following a book for over 200 issues is long gone.
I do hope they end it clean. No ties whatsoever. a Real reboot, not a halfhearted one.
