Courtesy of Newsarama comes the full five-page preview for issue 6 of IDW Publishing’s Lost Light, due for release on June 7. As the Functionist-controlled Luna 2 continues its assault on Adaptica, Rodimus and his allies must make some hard decisions when it comes to saving not just the city, but Functionist Cybertron itself. Check the preview pages out after the break!

Possibly only showing up for subscribers at this point. How vexing!

Anyone else actually seen a pre-order go up for this? It's usually at least on ibooks by now.

I have to say I really liked the art in this preview.

Finally this story is getting interesting, and Jack\'s art is really improving. Can\'t wait to see where the story goes next.

I've a few points to make…
1: Anode drawing visual cue from aoe Crosshairs? I don't see it. To me she more resemble hftd Terradive
2: Jack Lawrence's art is pretty good. Idw's treatment of Milne was pretty shitty (and their treatment of the taao creative team). I'd much rather read a books with Lawrence's art than one with Livio Ramondelli's
3: a theory on Rung. So we see him coughing up photonic crystal in his robot mode. We've seen his alt mode. And the hotspot on Luna 1 lit up when Rung stepped onto it (Not Rodimus)
I think Rung may actually be a Spark Harvestor. Jam his stick form into the ground ignite the hotspot, use it to collect the sparks and contain them in photonic crystals grown within his robot form.
Purple Heart
Especially since he's a POTP contender.

I think the chances of Megatron dying in the dissolution story arc, or Lost Light in general, are slim to none.
Megastar
No he needs to die for his crimes!

Please let Megatron live, please let Megatron live…

Been pretty meh on Anode so far and people saw that thing with her friend coming (Lug? I probably should just scroll back up to the preview but it's less effort to right this stupid aside apparently) but I'll admit those pages with her have me a bit interested which is partway towards feelings outside of 'meh'. Not sure why.
Maybe the lack of quips? The fact that her entire existence doesn't so strongly rely on bantering that her mind invented a friend so she'd have someone to banter with when there was no bantering to be bantered? That the bantering might not be bantering but a coping mechanism because to banter is easier than to remember.
Banter.
Banter a banter enough times and it doesn't banter anything? Till All Are Bantered. To Banter or not to banter. You who are without Banter, now banter for banter? In space, no one can banter you banter. Freelance Banter-Bantering agent, yes. Not a Banter hunter, hmm?

Funny enough when I first saw her I thought she evoked a lot of movie Crosshairs as well. Not a bad thing of course.

I would agree he is improving every month.

Lawrence's art just keeps getting better and better with each issue.
And it looks we'll finally see Rung's alt-mode. Plus, look at Rodimus feeling bad about one of his impulsive actions.

dat art tho

I've never understood the hate myself, Lawrence is an excellent artist. No, tell a lie. I understand being upset at Milne's mishandled exit from MTMTE, but I never got the surprisingly intense dislike for Lawrence.
Heliblade
I feel stupid for not realizing this sooner, but Anode reminds me of a genderbent Crosshairs from the movieverse. Also we need more Kaput.

Alright, I have very little idea of what is going on here plotwise, as I'm a trade paperback guy whose lagging rather behind, but I have to pop in and say: what the hell is it I'm missing regarding this supposedly "childish," "cartoonish" art? Regardless of whatever happened with Alex, this Jack fellow seems like he's carrying the torch real well. I mean, I could understand dropping the comic if you all had to deal with six issues of art from, say, the person who drew The Gloaming. But how exactly is the Lost Light art anywhere on that level of badness?
QLRformer
This will be climactic.

On that last page is
and that was a super disappointing part of the last issue. Anyway I'm ready for Wednesday and the arc's conclusion.
