Transformers: Lost Light #2

Rodimus and Co. find themselves in a dangerous place. Even more dangerous than on a planet that exploded from the inside. That's already pretty dangerous. But where they are now? Oh boy.

plenty of comic shops here and i havent seen it in any of em. i usually go to the forbinden planet where i can still pick up the revolution tie in if it wanted it but no sign of the new ongoing.
MTMTE wouldve been the biggest seller there of the 3 books so im at a loss as to how its not on the shelves as they'd deffo oversuscribe it.
TBH guess it means i just missed it so ill wait till the first arc is over and get the trade instead.
no way am i getting a digital copy. i like me comics "Real".

Ask Big Bang, they're probably the best retailer around there and have personal ties to Nick and a lot of other Irish artists/creators.

Goofy, cartoony facial expressions, and though characters are distinctive, none seem imposing or threatening. Twelve of Twelve (?) reminds me of Professor Princess from Animated. Just not a good style for this book, I'm afraid.

I agree completely. Lawerance isn't terrible, but I still think Milne should have stayed as the main artist. I love his art, and it is far better suited to Lost Light.
Other than that, though, I really do like Lost Light. So far it looks as though it could be just as good as MTMTE. I am curious as to whether the "Geobomb" was actually what it seemed, or if it (or Rung) is part of the reason why the crew was transported to another universe.
Also, Lug tells Anode that she "made the pretty one with the sword collapse in front of his Conjunx Endura." Does this mean that Ratchet and Drift are now a couple? Did I miss something, or is this new?

I really, really hope you're right. I really enjoyed Megatron unleashed at the end of DotL, until his character arc faltered. I've been thinking a lot about MTMTE, LL, Roberts' writing in general, and I really hope this story doesn't go in a certain direction. From the beginning, I got the sense that Robert's doesn't really like having Megatron around. He's never really been interested in developing him from my perspective. Mostly, he acts like Ultra Magnus, only with fewer jokes at his expense.
Off the bat, I was kind of annoyed with LL because it immediately seems to be moving off on a tangent with the functionist universe. We just got through a major arc. There was a mutiny, people died, etc, and I think that these things should be much more immediate concerns from a story perspective instead of moving on to the next thing. So, why are we in the functionist universe, practically speaking I mean?
When the main cast first landed on the Necrobot's planet, we learned that Megatron wasn't too keen on dying in the near future. His story arc has basically been wrapped up. He seems to have suppressed his violent urges, his best friend and greatest influence is back in his life, he's happier now than he has been for a long time. So what does he still have left to do?
Suddenly, he's in a new universe along with his best buddy. A universe sorely in need of Megatron's revolutionary touch. Since Robert's doesn't seem to care for Megatron too much, I can totally see Roberts leaving Megatron behind, so that the rest of Team Rodimus can continue having adventures without him.
I super hope that doesn't happen.
I'm so with you here. I'd bet something happens to Terminus and it's full on rage mode from there.Ironhidensh wrote:Let's all take a moment and realize just how much ass Megatron is going to kick in this functionist universe.
