Transformers: Dark Prelude collects the storylines of Orion Pax, ThunderCracker, Megatron, Bumblebee, TrailCutter and Hoist in an overarching story that spans millions of years, from the distant past, to now. Each story shows a major event from each character’s life. This allows for a more in-depth view into each character’s make up and driving forces.
The abrupt changes between the different stories can be a bit much but do help to distance each story from the last. This was also helped by each character’s changes in appearance between stories. These stories add to lore of this Transformers universe in a wonderful way.
The artwork is great, and is perfect for a Transformers graphic novel. Though it varies from story to story, it seems to fit each storyline appropriately. The level of detail is consistent throughout and helps to tie everything together.
In conclusion, I really liked this graphic novel, and if you have some time to kill, I would definitely recommend this as a way to do so. This is definitely the kind of graphic novel that is hard to put down, so make sure to save it for when you have a lot of time to read.
