Transformers King Grimlock #3
SCORE: 66
I am thankful I had the money to purchase
a copy of the Transformers King Grimlock #3 comic book. Please be aware
there will be spoilers in this review. There is no recap at the start of
Transformers King Grimlock #3. You better know what has been going on or
you may be a bit confused. Characters do give small recaps to things
that happened in the past when they are talking. Arko is a great example
of this. Grimlock has finished training the Anglorans and gives them his
word that he will continue to fight the Red Wizard as long as they
continue to fight.
There is an interesting twist in Transformers King Grimlock #3 when
Grimlock gets to the Red Wizard. He sees through the illusion and
realizes that the Red Wizard is not a human. He is actually Quintesson.
In other words the Red Wizard is a robot like Grimlock. As expected
Grimlock absolutely decimates and destroys Quintesson. The people
celebrate and we are left to wonder what is next for Grimlock. The
Golden One is still left. Soltron is mentioned numerous times within
Transformers King Grimlock #3 as well.
The issues families will have with Transformers King Grimlock #3 are
blood, violence, magic, and more in Transformers King Grimlock #3. The
Red Wizard brings forth quite a few undead beings to try and fight
Grimlock and the Anglorans. The whole necromancer concept continues
within Transformers King Grimlock #3. Thankfully the Red Wizard is
defeated and we do not need to deal with that anymore. I suspect there
might be other Transformers on this world as well. I do not have the
next issue of this comic book so I will have to decide if I want to
continue the story or not.
The graphics in Transformers King Grimlock #3 are on the dark side.
Ya'll know my preferences. I prefer bright and colorful graphics.
Transformers King Grimlock #3 is much darker than I enjoy reading.
Hopefully we are now done with the Wood-Bots as well. There are
twenty-four pages of content, next issue page, alternate covers, bio for
the Red Wizard and then some advertisements within Transformers King
Grimlock #3. Some of the ads are interesting within Transformers King
Grimlock #3.
The story within Transformers King Grimlock #3 is the only thing that
has kept my interest. I am curious where this will go. I am also curious
when Grimlock will become king. After all it is called Transformers King
Grimlock. Will Grimlock every make it back to Optimus Prime? Will the
other Dinobots ever join Grimlock? There are plenty of interesting ways
this comic book could go in the future. Arko is really mad and turning
to the dark side in Transformers King Grimlock #3. Her story is looking
more and more like a tragedy.
