Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye Volume 3 Paperback – 9 April 2013

Great series

Quirky, funny, tragic, daring, inventive, addictive and wildly entertaining, James Roberts' loveable rogues are a fanboy's dream - avoiding the usual cliches and tropes of the TF universe entirely to create something fresh and original. Not bad for a franchise thirty years and running!

This series just gets better and better. Its a flash back story dealing with events taking place just before the civil war in Cybertron. And theres one massive twist right on the very last page that will have you wetting your pants.

I'd recommend this series to ANY Transformers fan... and to any comic-book reader who's disappointed on recent X-men and Avengers series, heh. It's like Star Trek but with but robots... and a good sense of humor :)

Would recommend!

Fantastic Series, had the digital set from the humble bundle deal last year and had to buy the physical copy

Great

Awesome

In questo libro a fumetti vengono utilizzati per tutto il tempo solo i Transformers ed è un aspetto che ho adorato. Avrei voluto che ci fosse anche qualche personaggio umano in questa testata, tuttavia la storia funziona anche se ci sono solo i robots giganti. Un capolavoro che dovreste assolutamente avere nella vostra collezione!

Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye Volume 3

More than Meets the Eye continues to be one of the strongest books about the robots that turn into cars and planes that has ever been written.In the hands of James Roberts, the franchise has risen above the 'to-sell-toys' stigma of the Transformers and taken the title into a realm of well written science fiction adventure. Volume 3 of the series takes break from the forward moving story and plays in the past, with Roberts mastery of non-linear story telling giving us a well balanced flashback issue that is both 'Shocking' and hilarious.Alex Milne continues to shine as one of the best artists in IDW's stable, matching the styling of Nick Roche whose work has been so intertwined with Roberts' writing since "Last Stand of the Wreckers."Milne takes only half of the credit for Volume 3 as the first half, "Primus: You, Me and Other Revelations" is drawn by Jimbo Salgado, Emil Cabaltierra, and Transformers veteran Guido Guidi who produced a magnificently drawn flashback echoing back to the old Marvel comics from the 1980s.More than Meets the Eye lives up to its name!

This is the series to read, whether you're a longstanding fan of Transformers or not. Heck, this is the series to read if you've never picked up a comic book before. I can't recommend it strongly enough.This volume contains a double-length "Annual" issue, which delves into the mythology of the Transformers' origins. Sadly, some of the art just in this one issue is not as good as the art in the rest of the series, but we will forgive that because......This volume also contains the three-issue "Shadowplay" arc, which is EXCELLENT.James Roberts uses different story genres to great effect in this series. We've had sitcom, horror, ancient epic, and with Shadowplay, we get film noir. This arc focuses on Optimus Prime, one of the most memorable characters of Transformers; but the story takes place before he gained that title. It ends with one of the biggest shocks in the history of Transformers comics.Read this series. Every page is a wonderful discovery.

Seriously, what can I say about this book series that could ever own up to its awesomeness?Thus begins a convoluted tale, an epic quest (yes, I did use those words intentionally!) and the snark and snappy shots abound.In this series, you will run a gamut of emotions, but every book will leave you tasted-up for the next installment!
