The Transformers #49

The "Conquerors" arc reaches its conclusion in The Transformers #49, and Andrew Griffith's cover sets a striking tone — a massive, battle-worn Transformer stands triumphant atop a pile of rubble, clutching a tattered American flag in one hand and what appears to be a defeated enemy's severed head aloft in the other. It's a visceral, war-monument composition that promises the arc has been anything but easy. If you've been following this 2016 IDW storyline, this is the payoff issue you've been building toward.
