it’s been awhile since SImon Furman updated his blog, but with the release of The Transformers Spotlight: Sideswipe this week, he has posted some story teasers for the issue.
Expect lots of story progression in this crammed 22 page issue, but also look out for the amazing art from E.J. Su, who has gone full out.
Expect more blogging from Simon later this week with the release of Titan’s Transformers #17 on Thursday.

Three releases this week, with some new and some old material. Firstly the new stuff, completing the revelation saga is The Transformers Spotlight: Sideswipe, coming from Simon Furman and E.J.

IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall has posted the alternative covers for The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #5 and #6 on his blog. Done by artist Casey Coller and colorist Joana LaFuente, the covers continue the gritty style, but provide something different to Trevor Hutchison’s versions.
