Issue 1, December 2016

The comic that was More Than Meets The Eye is now Lost Light.

New number one to help sales, new name to help identify the book I guess.

Same writer (James Roberts), new artist (Jack Lawrence, although apparently Alex Milne will return in an alternating role).

Same cast, with several newcomers being established in #1, both original creations and existing G1 characters (including one that is surely the Headmaster character although I can't seem to find others that agree with me yet).

Strangely enough, no actual Lost Light (the spaceship) in this issue.

It picks up pretty much straight after the last (non crossover related) issue of MTMTE and I'm glad of it. The two part Titans Return story and the Revolution one-shot felt throw away to me.

The new artist does an alright job, but I do miss Milne's pencils - they felt as much a key part of the old book as Robert's writing.

As a #1 it doesn't do such a great job as a jumping on point, even with new POV characters and a several page "story so far" to try and help. There's a lot of dense backstory to this series. Which is part of what I love about it, but if you're not already on the ride I'm not sure this would convince you.
