Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #50, @idwcomics

Story by James Roberts

Art by Alex Milne and Brendan Cahill

Colors by Joana Lafuente, Priscilla Tramontano, and John-Paul Bove

It’s not often these days that we get the opportunity to see a comic reach its fiftieth issue, and that MTMTE has done so is a testament to its quality. We’ve followed Rodimus and friends (and not-friends) on their quest to find the Knights of Cybertron (please pretend that text has been Blingee’d) and the many, many…many distractions they’ve faced along the way. Between spark-eaters, mad doctors, monsters in the basement, Megatron Himself joining the crew, a chase sequence through time(complete with Back to the Future references), and all of the other abundant deterrents the crew of the Lost Light have confronted, surely they’ve come so far in their adventure?

…Nah.

However, #50 marks a huge change in the status quo of MTMTE as we know it. “How Bright Their Frail Deeds”, the first story in this issue, takes a sharp turn as things get dire for Team Rodimus. The storytelling is paced exquisitely and, paired with Milne’s beautiful artwork, creates an almost cinematic experience while reading. Each page will have the reader on the edge of their seat wondering what more could possibly go wrong for our heroes.

The second installation, “No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases”, is a short character piece focusing on the memories the crew (and we, the readers) have made on their journey. Cahill’s art in this story really strengthens the blow the reader feel with his grasp on subtle body language and emotion. The story is poignant and sweet and funny, and you will need tissues.

MTMTE #50 is a hallmark in the series, and only Roberts knows where it will go from here. Will it break our hearts? Probably. But I’ve always enjoyed suffering the slow burn of a good story. I mean, as Swerve so eloquently puts it, “Who wants closure? Let’s really stretch this sucker out.”

Remember when identifying everyone in that first image was considered a contest-worthy challenge?

Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #47

Never has there been a more aptly named series than “More Than Meets the Eye.” The office book club that developed around this series (no, really, it’s great) jokes about it, but it’s true.

Let me preface this by saying I didn’t care about Transformers until this past summer.

What changed?

I binge read seven volumes worth of the most intelligent, witty, and gut-wrenchingly painful comics that gave me what I lovingly refer to as “robot feelings.”

Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye delves into the aftermath of a four million year war, spanning across galaxies and peoples, organic and inorganic alike. The series follows the exploits of the Lost Light, a ship carrying the most marvelous cast of D-listers since Justice League International (https://www.comixology.com/Justice-League-of-America-1987-1996/comics-series/6906?ref=Y29taWMvdmlldy9kZXNrdG9wL2JyZWFkY3J1bWJz); captained by the incredible and incredibly incompetent Rodimus, they journey (in a decidedly roundabout way) on a Quest to find the fabled Knights of Cybertron.

It explores PTSD, mental illness, vengeance, and prejudice. Sounds bleak, right? Yes, but beyond that it celebrates friendship, personal growth, love, acceptance, and what there is to do in a future you never thought you’d have.

Not to mention this is one of the most LGBTQ inclusive series in mainstream comics right now. Surprised? I have two words for you: Robot. Marriage. The newest issue delves into how to “put a ring on it” and become “conjunx endura” (spouse) amidst the slow burn drama of a love triangle between three male identifying robots.

The overall approach telling this story is incredibly refreshing. One of the greatest strengths is the willingness to take time to explore and develop the uniqueness of the characters, both as individuals and through their interactions with the rest of the crew. But don’t despair, or perhaps do, because there’s also enough violence and soul-crushing sorrow to make even the most veteran of comics readers weep and/or scream.

Writer James Roberts crafts the most charming (yet also delightfully painful) series with grace, intelligence, and an abundance of humor. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will be ruined in the best of ways. Despite seeing so many comics, I gladly say that due to Roberts’ nuanced writing and ability to give his audience what they want while remaining true to his intent to tell a great story, More Than Meets the Eye is my current favorite ongoing series.

With Volume 8 having recently released and Nick Roche’s new stand alone Sins of the Wreckers starting today, it’s a great time to be a fan of Transformers and quality comics.

Don’t let this franchise comic in disguise fool you – give it a read, transform your comics-reading life, and roll out!
