Please, James Roberts, stop. Just stop. You’re getting me emotional while reading comic books.
I’m not sitting here bawling, but combining Robert’s tale with the always consistently gorgeous art of Jack Lawrence and Joana Lafuente, produces an amazing portrait of wonderful entertainment.
We find our travelers ready to finally say goodbye to the land of the living, believing this is truly the Afterspark and it is time to go. Some curious panels and meant to confuse and help the reader start putting the puzzle together. They really do a great job of using the age-old timeless moniker of Transformers, where things are usually More Than Meets the Eye.
Thanks to the unexpected arrival of The Scavengers and a rare event, a sensible team up between Autobots and Decepticons to quickly reveal a worse fate lies in store for the crew.
Death is imminent. One member is dead, and is not coming back. Others have to cope with the reality of reality not being what they thought it was. However, one moment. One, heartfelt, one miracle moment made it all worth it. One moment made this issue.
Until it was shattered by the arrival of the instruments of death for next issue.
The beginning of the end starts now. Lost Light continues its spectacular run towards the final issues.
Lost Light #18 earned a 10 out of 10.
