Transformers/Back To The Future by Cavan Scott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Transformers/Back to the Future is one of those stories that just seems so ridiculous, but somehow is a fun and satisfying. The plot is simple enough: after getting back from the future, the Decepticons find a way to get access to the Delorean and wipe out most of the Autobots and then set out to rule the Earth with Biff Tannen playing a major role (of course.)

This is just a bizarre and fun back that works in the wackyness of Marty McFly and Doc Brown helping humanity and a few surviving autobots battle the Decepticons. The strength of the story is its commitment to its premise and its big ridiculous ideas. The book doesn't have a whole lot of character insight or some great emotional connections. At four issues, it doesn't really need it. It just tells an audacious concept combing two great eighties franchises in one comic. If the possibility of combining these two universes intrigues you, this is worth checking out.
