No More Beast Wars Comics For Now
Bad news people, after two Beast Wars comics series and a set of sourcebooks, it seems we will not be getting any more for the foreseeable future. Editor Denton J. Tipton has posted the announcement on the IDW forums, but didn’t give a reason. Most likely it is due to the large number of comics planned for 2009, with lots Revenge of the Fallen comics coming.
I’m sorry to report that there are no Beast Wars minis planned for the near future.
At least this gives me time to complete my Beast Wars story.
