The Transformers #23
In "The New Order, Part 2," Shockwave holds the Autobots captive in the Ark, their once-proud ranks now broken and damaged—save for Ratchet, who remains free. As Buster stumbles upon the severed head of Optimus Prime, the weight of leadership hangs in the balance, and the future of the Autobots hangs in the shadows of the Ark. Written by Bob Budiansky and illustrated by Alan Kupperberg, with colors by Nel Yomtov and letters by Rick Parker, this 0.27 GBP UK release from 2025 features a cover by John Ridgway.
