Transformers: Regeneration One #99

/ / Comics

Transformers: Regeneration One #99Leading into next month’s over-sized 100th issue finale, Transformers: Regeneration One #99 wraps up the Jhiaxus storyline while giving us glimpses of the other looming threats. As Jhiaxus brags to the captive Autobot leader Rodimus Prime, Autobot Wreckers start dismantling the hub network. The newly reconstituted Shockwave lends a hand as well, allowing the force in control of Starscream to face Jhiaxus and end the threat once and for all.

Although we don’t learn the condition of Optimus Prime, we get a glimpse of the captured Spike. And on Cybertron we witness a still-dangerous Galvatron running amok on a world with few Autobots remaining. Thankfully Cybertron still is protected by Dinobots (setting up a possible battle between Grimlock and Galvatron to cap the series).

With plenty of action that highlights many of my favorite Transformers, and even moves the logical Shocwave to emotion in a terrific panel, there’s much here to enjoy as the comic sets up its grand finale that all started in a four-issue mini-series 30 years ago. Worth a look.

Larfleeze #8

/ / Comics

Larfleeze #8As Larfleeze begins cleaning out the planet Sorrow’s coffers for anything that catches the greedy hero’s eye, Sena the Wanderer is reunited with the rest of her family including the temptress Adora (whose amorous powers make anyone who come into contact with her, who isn’t an “orange monkey,” fall immediately in love – something Pulsar Stargrave learns for himself rather quickly).

Finally remembering he has a butler to reacquire, Larfleeze abandons Sorrow to take on Laord of the Hunt‘s entire family (even Adora whose powers, much like those of her siblings, have no effect on the selfish orange ring-slinger).

Larfleeze vs. the gods from another dimension certainly promises plenty of action next week, but I’m even more excited with the actions of the planet of Sorrow who decide to call in a Green Lantern to deal with their new problem which means the comic has something truly great up its sleeve yet to come. Worth a look.
