Transformers – Unicron: The Darkest Hour #0 – Free Comic Book Day 2018 serves as the explosive prelude to the climactic conclusion of IDW Publishing’s long-running Transformers continuity. Written by John Barber with vivid artwork by Alex Milne, this zero issue sets the tone for a galactic-scale story where ancient evil threatens everything the Autobots and their allies have fought to protect.

At the centre of this unfolding saga is Unicron, the legendary planet-devouring force from Cybertronian myth. Having remained in the shadows for much of the IDW continuity, his arrival marks the beginning of the end. As worlds fall and alliances are tested, Optimus Prime, Windblade, and others must confront an overwhelming enemy whose hunger could erase not just Cybertron, but reality itself.

John Barber’s script provides a masterful balance between accessibility and lore-rich depth, making it ideal for both long-time fans and curious newcomers. Alex Milne’s art is nothing short of spectacular—detailed, dynamic, and appropriately grand for a story involving a cosmic entity of such scale. Every panel feels cinematic, with vibrant colours and emotive expressions that elevate the tension and spectacle.

As a Free Comic Book Day release, this issue was crafted to draw readers into the finale of a sprawling universe that has been years in the making. Whether you're following the IDW saga or discovering Unicron for the first time, this entry provides essential context and high-stakes drama.
