    Default Comic review: More Than Meets The Eye season 2: #28 onwards

    Season 2 begins, now

    Megatron assumes control of the quest to find the Knights of Cybertron—a quest that has never before been so urgent, so personal, and so likely to end in tears. An incredulous Lost Light crew is left asking the same thing you are: how exactly did it come to this?
    And it's off to a great start. A fun first issue, very different to MTMTE #1 though but an evolution not a complete restart. I love this Megatron. A little cluttered down with crossover resolution stuff but by far the best of the three Dawn of the Autobots "#1"s.

    I enjoyed it as well, love the "Death from Face Palm" quip from Rodimus to Starscream, and Nautica's interview for a place in the Lost Light.

    Will be interesting to see who or what is in the casket.

    A very setup issue, putting things into place for the next 20+ issues, lots of things that I am sure seem like little nothings (missing letters) will probably be relevant to big twists and turns in the future, more than the warning from issue one or the changes to rewinds recording.

    I have a few questions, most I know cannot be answered, and possibly not for a long time, but having Ravage on board seems a massive thing to me, and how he is there without rung or Megatron knowing seems... iffy. I wonder if this means Soundwave is getting live transmissions and what this will mean for RiD.

    Is thinking that Prowl was on the other end of Whirl's transmission too obvious?

    Also I'd love more Rodimus and Prowl stuff, with a bit of Magnus and Prime thrown in every now and again.

    Nice crew changes too, Hotspot, Groove, Nightbeat, Hosehead, Mirage, Bluestreak as well as real newbies Riptide (love the design) and Nautica should give a few more characters to bounce things off, some story involving Nightbeat and Getaway would be awesome!

    Not the best MtMtE issue, and it did not give as much information as I was hoping for, I guess we will be drip fed the trial details throughout MtMtE for the next few months, but the banter was good and the characters instantly memorable.

    The unexpected Decepticon aboard the Lost Light was a nice touch. Thinking about it today the book could have established Megatron as being in command a bit more strongly, but I'll be happy to see the trial take place (via the flashbacks and then for things to move on).

    The issue made me feel a little sorry for Bluestreak.

    Nick Roche's cover for #31 gives us headshots of some of the new crew members as well as the old hands:
