Ask Chris Ryall Anything

Written by admin on | Comics,IDW Publishing,News |

IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall, is having another of his ask me anything (well almost anything) threads on the IDW message boards. So far, there are 11 pages of questions, answers and annoying hints for future IDW Transformers comic stuff.

Here are some of the best from just page 1 (of 11 so far).

Q. Can you tell us any more about IDW’s involvement with the DVD release of the Transformers, or when it might be coming out?

A. Let me jump on the first few of these while I can. I can tell you the DVD is slated to come out in November, but I don’t know what date. And I can tell you that the version sold at Target here in the states will come with an all-new 22-page Prequel comic written by me (all by my lonesome this time), with art by Don and Andrew Wildman. It features Starscream and some other Decepticons, and even a character that didn’t make it into the movie itself, Wreckage. This time, I had no Simon to fall back on, so I hope it works…

Q. Do the Spotlights continue after Spotlight Optimus Prime?

A. Yessir. One coming in November. Not written by Simon Furman (or me or Nick or Eric). Oooh!

Q. Are there any Ideas for a future Evolutions Title?

A. Not right now. The movie and surrounding projects have sort of taken over the spots for alternate TF realities right now. But I do hope to get back to those in ’08.

Q. Please force Hasbro at gunpoint to make a Stormbringer Thunderwing toy. Please. I’ll be good.

A. I know Simon, Don, and I would absolutely love that…

If you would like to submit your question and or the others, head on over to the IDW message boards now.

Simon Furman Blog: FUTURE’S PAST

Written by admin on June 27, 2007 | Comics,Generation One,IDW Publishing,News |

With the release of IDW’s The Transformers Spotlight: Galvatron, written by Simon Furman, the man himself has commented on how the issue fits into the larger picture of the IDW-verse and why Galvatron is more than meets the eye. Here is the bit that may be of some interest to you non comic lovers

“However, this Galvatron is NOT IDW Megatron in a new body. In fact, he pre-dates IDW Megatron (currently strutting his formative stuff in the excellent Megatron Origin series) by some way.”
