Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
For strengthening forearm muscles, or getting the full story of the Transformers' 'IDW-verse,' look no further than the Transformers: Premiere Edition. At just over 500 pages of non-stop 'bot action, if you only buy one Transformers book, ever, this is the one you need! Journey from Cybertron to Earth and back as the Transformers' legendary war spans the galaxy in a quest to return peace to their home planet, and restore harmony between all mechanoids. But while the noble Autobots seek their freedom, the Decepticons await with treacherous plans of their own. This collection includes Infiltration, Stormbringer, a collection of Spotlights (Shockwave, Nightbeat, Hot Rod, Sixshot, Ultra Magnus), and the latest addition, Escalation.

I was so surprised at how large this book was, absolutely huge! The stories were compelling and the artwork, as usual was spectacular. I just hope that they hurry up and come out with the second volume soon!

A really great deal for Transformers fans. Personally, I prefer to buy compilations like this so I can read an entire storyline in one sitting. You get the storylines 'Infiltration' and 'Escalation' (these go together), 'Stormbringer (a separate story) plus Spotlights on Shockwave, Nightbeat, Hot Rod, Six Shot and Ultra Magnus not to mention a cover gallery for a total of around 500 pages of Transformer madness. There's also a nice piece of artwork on the very very first page signed by Simon Furman, E.J. Su and Don Figueroa--pretty cool. If there is one complaint its the dustcover--it looks like a very zoomed in picture of an Optimus print, complete with dust specks zoomed in as well. Whoever does the production could have at least cleaned up the artwork a bit. All-in-all, a nice addition that deserves to be shown off in your library bookcase.

Collecting the "Infiltration," "Stormbringer," "Escalation," and the very first collection of Spotlights, this book is a great way to get started in the IDW Transformers universe. The only negative things I can think of to say about it are that there's not much in the way of extras, and that the book is too big to fit on most bookshelves.

The Premiere Edition kicks off a new continuity for familiar characters. Since the original writer behind many 80s Transformers comics guides the project, it draws on the spirit of the original in ways that fans will enjoy, but it establishes new story arcs, premises, and relationships to create a fresh and different Transformers universe.
For presentation, the book deserves a high rating. Beyond the sturdy hardcover binding, the inclusion of covers and other extra art, and the consistently excellent colour reproduction, the pages themselves are noteworthily larger than in the original comic. You'll see the art better here than anywhere else. For comparison, check the dimensions of this book versus your average comic paperback. Finally, you'll find autographs of the writer and artists on a slip of paper attached to the front page. Slick.
The fiction itself stays at the level of a good action movie; it makes no endeavor to be great literature, but what it does, it does well. In the Spotlight collection, we see that Furman struggles to create unique voices for his characters, but their interaction in the main story arcs consistently feels genuine. Also, the scope of the storytelling deserves mention. For several years now, Furman has been building one enormous narrative out of one primary storyline supported by a series of seemingly disconnected short stories. The plot leaves loose threads only to tie them in at a point unexpected, altogether making for a yarn worth telling. Do bear in mind that since there will be at least one more volume, this one ends on a cliffhanger!
The bottom line, this book is the best possible introduction to the ongoing Transformers continuity. If you're a Transformers fan, go for it.
