The Transformers #66

The fifth and final chapter of the "Matrix Quest" arc arrives in this May 1990 Marvel issue, and the cover — inked and penciled by Ian Akin — makes a striking first impression: a horned, fanged Transformer blazes forward in an aggressive charge, the glowing Matrix artifact radiating energy at the center of the composition while a second, battered bot is sent reeling in the foreground. The bold tagline "By the Matrix… Possessed!" sets the stakes perfectly for this concluding installment of a five-part saga. With Simon Furman writing and Geoff Senior on interior art, this is a satisfying capstone for anyone following one of the Marvel Transformers run's most ambitious storylines.
