Transformers Shattered Glass II #4
SCORE: 62
I keep trying to get into the Transformers Shattered Glass II series
and franchise. I have seen some small shimmer of light here and there
from this series. Transformers Shattered Glass II #4 is another example
of how some things are right and some things are wrong. Maybe I should
say some things in Transformers Shattered Glass II #4 are confusing. I
feel like every time I want to compliment this series it does something
strange to make me pull it back. There will be spoilers in this review.
The flow in Transformers Shattered Glass II #4 starts really good and
then it just gets confusing. There are transitions in Transformers
Shattered Glass II #4 that are missing. Flamewar is outside, then
inside, and then outside again. None of this is explained. I felt like
it was so disconnected. Like the pages were put in the wrong place. The
central theme within Transformers Shattered Glass II #4 is revenge.
The issues families can have with Transformers Shattered Glass II #4 is
violence, disobedience, revenge, hate, and more. Transformers Shattered
Glass II #4 consists of The Story So Far, twenty pages of content, next
month's cover, alternate covers, and then some advertisements. I really
appreciate The Story So Far. I wish Transformers Shattered Glass II #4
was more continuous and connected. I do like how the Flamewar chooses to
complete his mission instead of getting revenge.
The main characters featured in Transformers Shattered Glass II #4 are
Flamewar, Slipstream, Shadow Striker, Hailstorm, Hotlink, Slicer, and
Rodimus. Megatron is also in Transformers Shattered Glass II #4. I am
not sure if the Titan has been woken up or not in Transformers Shattered
Glass II #4. It looks that way at the end of this comic book. The Titans
position has changed since we see him earlier in the comic book.
I feel like parts of Transformers Shattered Glass II #4 work better than
the previous issues. Other parts are much worse. There is too much story
telling that needs to be done and too much is being cut out. It really
confused me and I read Transformers Shattered Glass II #4 multiple
times. I kept thinking I missed something but I could not find it. If my
research is correct there is only one more issue in this mini series.
Hopefully I will be able to find it at some point.
