Mike's Favorite TF Comic Covers! (Dreamwave/Devil's Due Edition)

 
I did my Top 25 Favorite IDW Transformers comic covers, and now I'll do my top 10 favorite covers from the Dreamwave/Devil's Due era of the franchise!  (Plus a "0" entry of course, for worst cover!)

This was... harder than expected. Dreamwave was known for their deluge of alternate covers, but looking through all of them, I was struck by how... SAME-Y they were. I guess you have to blame that pesky "House Style" that Superstar Funana Transman Lee mandated for artists. I also added in Devil's Due's G.I.Joe/Transformers comics in my review because when else are they gonna get in?

Again, I'll repeat the rules from last time; these aren't ranked by preference, simply listed in reverse order of release, and my opinion is based on the cover itself, with the actual contents of the issue not really being considered in a huge way.

I'm sure many of us can admit to buying up as many covers from this era of Transformers comics as we could- I certainly can. And I probably regret it a bit now, but I'll still cop to it! Anyway, here we go!
