Transformers #17

IDW's Transformers #17 continues the "Bold New Era" with a cover that pulls the reader into an unsettling cosmic perspective — a darkened, cratered planet drifts in the foreground while intense beams of light radiate from a looming, angular Cybertronian form that dominates the red-drenched star field above. The composition, with its deep crimson hues and sharp geometric shapes, conveys a sense of enormous scale and foreboding tension. With Ruckley, Malkova, McGuire-Smith, Lafuente, and Bove collaborating, this 2020 series continues to bring a cinematic gravity to the Transformers universe that rewards both longtime fans and newcomers.
