Sooooo, this is the animated Star Trek and the Transformers G1 cartoon all smooshed up together, with accurate references, solid art, and a really impressive through-line mashup story. What’s not to love?Matthew's Thoughts

Stephen's Thoughts

Holy crap, Spoilerites! If you loved the Transformers cartoons fo the 80s, and long for the further adventures of the animated Star Trek universe, your mind is going to explode this week. There's some fun writing in this issue that hits all the nostalgia buttons, and the art is on model for everything I remember from the day. This is light-hearted fare that is worth checking out, but don't expect universe changing events by the time this is all over.
