Transformers

From 2005 onward, IDW Publishing relaunched the Transformers saga under the steady hand of veteran scribe Simon Furman, with E. J. Su providing the sleek, mechanical artwork that defined this era. This single-issue series marked the beginning of a new, cohesive universe for the Autobots and Decepticons, stripping away decades of continuity to deliver a fresh, character-driven take on the war for Cybertron. It matters as the foundation for IDW's acclaimed, long-running Transformers line, setting the tone for the complex storytelling that would follow.
