Some events in history are so incredible, that they’ve gone down in legend—epic tales of epic heroes and villains. Others remain shrouded in mystery, only surfacing as snippets of the real story. Transformers ’84: Legends & Rumors is the perfect companion book to the Secrets & Lies mini-series, representing the classic stories that inspired the series: “The Transformers” (Transformers #1), “Man of Iron” (Transformers UK #9-12), and the Transformers ’84 #0 one-shot!

I'm looking forward to the Beast Wars book, but I gotta say the art is underwhelming. It's too angular and TFA-inspired. It worked for the show but I don't like it for Beast Wars, it's supposed to be about infusing organic life into Transformers and thus should be more rounded lines. Either way, I'll check it out and go from there. The other titles are a pass, I haven't been interested in the other books in quite a while. Maybe I'll give them another shot in some time.

Burcham conveys more characterization in that cover with just the art than the ongoing has in 24 issues.

I hear aloe vera is good for burns . . .

I also agree completely. I just hope it's a fresh take, completely separate from Uprising, Shattered Glass, 3H, and the cartoon. Those were all good, but I don't want another rehash.

On the other hand, I don't want "Megatron transforms into a tankless tank and just might be eeeeeevil" fresh. I want it to do for Beast Wars what Beast Wars did for Transformers.

I'm worried as to what internal art the BW comic series will have... Please don't let it be the weird cartoony kind! :PRAY:

There's no listing for the Secrets & Lies TPB, just the 100 page collection, which I think is unnecessary.
