Optimus Prime is dead, so who will lead the Autobots against the resurgent and deadly Decepticons now? And what has happened to the Matrix?

In my review of Transformers #22, I mentioned how frustrating it is to continually see the Autobots in retreat and getting their asses kicked by the Decepticons. Though that does certainly happen at least in part here, this issue does thankfully have its rousing and optimistic moments, as well as a great deal of heart.

Though I’ve generally enjoyed Daniel Warren Johnson’s rebooting of the Transformers saga, it’s definitely had a few weak points; this issue, however, was pretty enjoyable, and it’s going to be interesting seeing how he wraps everything up for the imminent handover to Robert Kirkman.
