From CBR comes the five-page preview for IDW Publishing’s Optimus Prime #9, “The Life of Sideswipe,” due for release on July 12. After being comatose since the All Hail Optimus storyline, Sideswipe has finally awakened! As Sideswipe’s comrades welcome him back, however, not everyone feels like celebrating. Read the preview after the break, and pick the issue up this Wednesday!

I am more intrigue by the last line "Something is not right."

Carry?

Zama absolutely nailing this. Come on, Barber – it\'s your ball to drop or take to … er … base? Touch? How does US football work again?

I wouldn't be suprised if Sideswipe said "Damn, I'm good!"

I reckon Sideswipe is gonna have a case of Came Back Wrong.
Also; Arcee seems angsty.

I don't want to spoil myself by reading the dialogue…but yay! Zama's back! With TAAO ending and The Lost Light…doing what it's doing…at least we have one ongoing left that's got excellent art and a decent storyline.

Yea, I found that funny too
Front:
"I AM READY TO SMASH!"
Inside:
"Oh hi friends I'm awake."
Anyway, I look forward to him and Arcee ^^

The cover makes it look like Sideswipe\'s gonna bust out screaming \"GRR IT\'S ASS KICKING TIME\", but instead we got a homage to Wheeljack\'s return. Not a bad thing, just a small lol wtf moment.
I couldn\'t but help notice that when Optimus loosely quotes \"Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of its choosing\", most of the Autobots present were in the ROTF movie. Intentional reference or coincedence?
Life of Sideswipe!
He had arms
and legs
and hands and feet!

I think that's the point.

Isn\'t this literally how Wheeljack was brought back online?
