So what if instead of The Transformers snoozing right through to the 1980s they'd woken up around a hundred years earlier? What if they all went a little Steam Punk?

What if over the course of a four issue mini series the plot quite literally careers off the rails and into a ravine? We answer all these questions and more in the latest episode of We've Got Back Issues where Galactosh, Sleeves and special guest Michael Quintesson discuss The Transformers: Hearts of Steel from IDW Publishing.

Time to (temporarily) break from our love affair with the 1990s, delve into the previous decade and visit a character Galactosh really does not care for, a book he's never heard of, but one Sleeves has been meaning to read for ages. DC's Green Arrow... is basically robin hood right? Well, hopefully we can answer that as we read and discuss the book that reinvented him for the modern age and launch hes very first solo title. A story of drugs smuggling rackets, rogue CIA agents, serial killers, Yakuza Assassins, Iranian arms deal, and coked up fish! And maybe even a love story about two heroic love birds, a guy who dresses like 'Robin' Hood and a gal that calls herself Black 'Canary'.
