John Barber, a former editor at IDW, decided he wanted to focus on writing a few years ago, and has since become one of the architects of the Hasbro-verse. Among his projects has been “Optimus Prime,” which is almost a misnomer, as Optimus is, at times, the least prominent member of the cast. For a book named after one character, it is an uncharacteristically crowded book. We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the twelfth issue, which comes out on November 1.
