Comic Review: Monstrosity IDW digital release

[i_amtrunks]

Thanks to the "Monstrosity" sale, the new digital only series has had issue 1 released. It is a direct continuation of Autocracy, which did receive a print release as a collection a few months after the final release.

This is the regathering issue, where we see where the two big players are after their "final" confrontation in Autocracy. We see Prime trying to deal with fractured Cybertronian politics while Megatron has his decepticons looking after him in true decepticon fashion.

A couple of little nods to to fiction past, but with some twists in it. Nice to see Alpha Trion with his face rag and Bumblebee talking, I know he does in RiD too but after so much silent Bee in other media, it's great to have him talking whenever he does.

Worth the $1 it costs digitally, the art remains the same as Autocracy, so if you didn't like it then, you'll not like it anymore now.

Issue two is out And worth every one of the 99 cents.

No prime, this is a decepticon focused issue. We get Scorponok and the terrorcons as well as dinobots that are hinted to having a similar affliction to their "Prime/FoC" counterparts.

We get to see Megatron showcasing his power and drive again, it is brutal. His time on junkion reveals it was indeed Megatron who was on the cover of issue 1.

The rating this issue really pops on the iPad, I am not sure that it will look as good in print form, but it is far better than what I have since seen on the online preview pages.

My only concern is that these prehistory issues seem to want to contradict what we already know has happened as we have been told or shown in the -tion, ongoing and current series. I'll continue to believe that autocracy was a parallel universe style story, same with monstrosity until we are definitively shown that they tie in well together.

yeah, there seems to be some parrells to what we already know but there are distinct difference too

I loved Autocracy and am loving the two issues I have downloaded of Monstrosity so far (got an iPhone 5 today and it was the first thing I did ). Considering how big Scorponok is, Hun-Grrr (or Hun-GAr now for some damn reason) must be bloody huge! Would say more but 'spoilers' and all

A great series, easily my favourite transformers comic series. 12 issues in total.

You have the great G1 monsters in modern art style of the marvel type IDW type.

Scorponok, Hun Gurr and all especially OVERLORD pit the battles out here.
