They’re all dead! Dead I say! DEAD!
That is what we are led to believe in the first pages of issue 16. A beloved character meets a noble end while the rest of the crew attempt to figure out if this is real or a fantasy. There is no escape from this reality.
They’re just a poor crew, not needing no sympathy. But they soon realize that their lives easy come and easy go, and the clutches of death won’t let them go.
The artwork brings out the best of our Lost Light roster. Everyone gets a little time to shine. Interesting predicaments unfold, and the ship’s captain goes a little off the rails.
Imagine you have a belief, and suddenly, without explanation or time to prepare, an event unfolds so quickly and abruptly, by the time you gain your bearings, things you knew and believed are not what they seem. This issue challenges concepts of faith and devotion to one’s beliefs. Throughout the history of Transformers, the universal constant is the existence of a god. Primus. The existence of his heralds and giving life to Cybertronians. Like us simple humans, we question the existence of a higher power, and challenge the validity in the belief in a deity.
The final moments of the issue answers some of those questions, with the promise of a few answers next issue.
Lost Light #16 gets a 4 out of 5
