Image credits: Image comics Daniel Warren Johnson’s run on Transformers reboot ended with this 24th issue. A massive showdown took place between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Prime begins to show off his sympathy with his nobility, and Megatron becomes the villain we know and dislike. The problem starts out in an epic way, with a brilliantly crisp and highly impactful expanded fight sequence, but when it finishes, the rails fall a bit off. The two characters come out of nowhere in the actual Deus ex Machina moment, enveloping everything, and Optimus Prime looks weaker (and steals agency) as the bad…

The ultimate universe is a concept that is always set on a clock. Whether it’s the “real-time” element of each title that takes place in the actual month it releases, or the looming threat of the manufacturer, this will reach its own crescendo in the ultimate endgame of the future. That’s a great reason why Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #4 takes time to actually allow Miles Morales to breathe. Miles is still in Warpass to find his sister Billy, but he actually made a friend with My Igarashi, the ultimate X-Men Maestorm. Despite the language barriers surrounding them, they can still…

If you were on the indie animation side of the internet (I lived in for nearly 20 years), the murder drone doesn’t require referrals, and there’s no animation studio glitch production either. The Australian animation studio, when it comes to their projects, is the amazing digital circus and the upcoming Order of Gaslight District and Dana Terrace, the first of the first show where murderous drones were a huge success. With all that in mind, it wasn’t surprising that ONI Press’s graphic novel adaptation, which reached one of Glitch’s IPS, had over 5,000 sign-ups on the Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page. It’s…

Welcome, X-Fans, to another uncanny edition of X-Men Monday at AIPT! No, you haven’t slipped into an alternate universe — it is, in fact, Wednesday. But honestly, it’d cost a fortune to rebrand the column to “X-Men Wednesday,” so hopefully you’ll let this one slide. Plus, we’ve got the Conductor of X himself, Tom Brevoort! I think we can make an eXception. X-Men Monday has already spoken to writers Jed MacKay, Erica Schultz, and David Marquez about their Age of Revelation tie-in series, and now it’s Tom’s turn to break down the event’s origins, as well as tease the future…

And it’s not too far. In this issue, Lizzie, with her Domino’s mask and a Monica’s Wonder Robin, finds herself in Wayne Manor at a key moment in history. This is the halfway point of Tom King’s Batman Run. DC Readers who have not read King’s infamous output have…

The Gaslite version of the Justice League was slowly assembled, and Batman No. 3: Gotham by Gaslite – The League of Justice somehow became appropriately global.

Each issue appears to invite another character into the fold, whether it’s a classic league member, a compelling Weiler or a more solo character. As the league is built, the outside conspires. DC Question #3 both do a lot: Jay Garrick and Victor Stone go more directly into…
