Transformers #20

/ / Comics

The return of Megatron is the focus of Transformers #20. Fearing the worst, the Autobots shore up their defenses and Optimus Prime uses the last of their dwindling resources to revive the Aerialbots (who all get a bit of an introduction here suggesting they have an important role in the battle to come).

Supergirl #1

A new volume of Supergirl begins here with an issue that does a pretty good job on hitting on several aspects of Kara and letting us know what’s going to be covered/included in the current version.

Once exposed, the shapeshifter proves to be a problem for even our heroes. We get plenty of action in the issue that seems to wrap up the story (but apparently not this arc with has two more issues to come). We also get a quite humorous remark from Gen about how adventures seem to find Usagi which made me laugh out loud.

On finding them, the X-Wing pilots are shocked to discover the group has a Star Destroyer forcing a hasty retreat.
