The picture is drawn by Casey Coller, who has been signed up to draw the whole issue after his work on Apocalypse Comics’ variant cover for All Hail Megatron #1. The issue will also be written by All Hail Megatron writer Shane McCarthy, with a scheduled release date of December.

Written by Big Bot on July 11, 2008 | Comics,IDW Publishing,News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: , , —

Competition time people, and a simply one at that. Writer Chris Mowry is offering fans a chance to win the original drafts and other bits of material from Reign of Starscream #1, copies of the finished issues #1, #2, and #3 and the scripts for the issues. All you have to do is take a picture of Starscream by 31st July. Simple. Full details can be found on Mowry’s blog.

So that’s the contest! Send me your photos of Starscream (in toy form… any version) visiting somewhere on our planet. Would he go back to Ohio to seek out the fembots of Botcon? Would he be hiding at a local coffee shop? Finally learning about human physiology at the beach with Barricade? Of course, he wouldn’t travel far without a copy of his comic book, now would he? IT’S UP TO YOU!!!

IDW’s Abandoned Viral Marketing Attempt – Live to Serve Him

Written by Big Bot on July 2, 2008 | Comics,IDW Publishing,News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: —

The Reign of Starscream writer Chris Mowry has posted on his blog about a proposed viral marketing campaign that would have promoted the series.

But because with most things (simply not enough time) we had to scrap it. What was funny is that here in the States, 2008 is an election year. At IDW, we’ve got this series that focuses on Starscream and then All Hail Megatron. So the thought was that we’d be able to have these two characters and people could vote throughout the year on who their favorite Decepticon leader would be. At the end, that character would get some kind of exclusive artwork or something along those lines.

He has posted one of the pieces of artwork that would have been used, on his blog.
