Transformers #39

IDW's Transformers #39 brings an unsettling image to the forefront: a massive, spike-covered robotic hand clutching a smaller mechanical fist, both drenched in cascading streams of vivid purple fluid against a fiery, skull-tinged red backdrop. The sheer scale and menace of that darkened, glowing-eyed hand make this one of the more viscerally striking covers in the 2022 run. Ruckley, Griffith, and Bove deliver a composition that practically radiates dread — a perfect signal that this chapter of the series is heading somewhere intense.
