So now we've reached the other side of Phase 2 with the sister series of More Than Meets The Eye. The start of a long trek toward giving Barber's work a better chance than when I initially read his work, only out of obligation to complete the entire continuity. Robots in Disguise and its follow-ups were always living in the shadow of MTMTE/Lost Light, but I still think there's a ton of great things in store from Barber's side of this continuity.

Ah John Barber. I mostly considered him the other guy, and I only cared about Robots In Disguise/The Transformers volume 2 in how it related to MTMTE. Back in 2017 (when Comixology still existed) I got his run while it was on sale and read it all in a single day. It was okay.

Right then, second time’s the charm. Here we, here we, here we fucking go! With what is arguably the more important of the ongoing series.

While Roberts is always serving up some weird exotic dish, Barber is more the "meat-and-potatoes" writer, coming from a Marvel background and being pretty spot-on with continuity and characters. His work is comforting in that regard, although I do feel all his characters has some underlying layer of anger to them. Prepare to count the times someone just randomly snaps and throws a punch or outburst as the series progresses.
