IDW Comic Releases – 12/11/08
Just one new release this week, with this being Transformers: Animated The Arrival #4, again featuring 2 stories set in the Animated universe.
BULKHEAD is up in arms (or is it servos?) over a gas-guzzling “megavan” created by corporate slimeball Porter C. Powell. Also, DECEPTICON bounty hunter LOCKDOWN searches for “the AUTOBOT who put MEGATRON offline” and stumbles into a surprising and dangerous encounter along the way.
The other Transformers comic this week is the 2nd printing of The Transformers: Megatron Origin TPB, which was originally released in December 2007, and is set early on in the IDW G1 universe.
Chris Ryall has posted the 3 covers for Arrival #4.
New E.J. Su Art – What is it?
Chris Ryall has posted some new art from longtime Transformers artist E.J. Su, a cover from a mysterious future issue.
The inks cover shows Jazz and Razorclaw battling it out with destroyed buildings around them. The only other clue to the issue is that it is coming out in March 09, which means it is unlikely to be an IDW main series, and more likely a Spotlight issue.
Spotlight: Blurr 5 Page Preview
Todays new material from IDW, The Transformers Spotlight: Blurr, (the other being Marvel UK reprint, Time Wars #4) has been given the 5 page preview treatment from Chris Ryall, and a chance for fans to catch a glimpse of how Blurr has changed since his G1 cartoon days.
Colour Cover for All Hail Megatron #7
On the back of the All Hail Megatron #7 issue sketches, Shane McCarthy has now posted the full colour alternate cover from Casey Coller, who’s debut issue, Spotlight: Blurr, is out today.
From the cover, it seems all is not well with the Autobots.
Small AHM #7 Update
All Hail megatron writer Shane McCarthy has posted a small update for issue #7 of the series, having now seen the sketches from Guido.
I’ve just recieved the initial sketches for a double page spread in AHM #7 that, seriously, may cause actual bodily harm to anyone that reads it.
You’ve been warned.
Guido is the man. Either that or just an astonishing freak of nature.
Enjoy the wait.
IDW Comic Releases – 05/11/08
A bit of new and old this week from IDW. The Transformers Best of UK:Time Wars #4 continues the Marvel UK reprint of the same name, and The Transformers Spotlight: Blurr is the 16th Spotlight issue, written by Shane McCarthy with art by Casey Coller.
Again Chris Ryall has posted the covers for these issues, with all 3 for Spotlight: Blurr and 1 for Time Wars #4.
McCarthy on All Hail Megatron so far
With fans started to get onboard the All Hail Megatron train, writer Shane McCarthy has discussed the reaction to the series with Comic Book Resources, as well as the design concept for the new character Drift.
Also included in the article are the cover for issue #8, plus a couple of unreleased pages and concept art for a new design for Perceptor.
IDW Transformers Comic Releases – 29/10/08
Time for a blast from the recent past, with the reprint of Dreamwave’s Transformers Armada Volume 1 TPB, collecting issues #1-6 of the series.
The comic takes the story in a different direction to the cartoon, so is worth picking up if you cannot stand the animated series. The book is drawn by James Raiz and written by Chris Sarracini.
Chris Ryall again has the cover for your viewing pleasure.
Transformers The Reign of Starscream TPB Details
After a teaser post in September, Chris Mowry has now provided more confirmation on what will be included in the Transformers: The Reign of Starscream TPB, due out on 19th November.
The 152 page book will collect all 5 issues, and a whole host of bonus material. There will be 33 character bios, a cover gallery with unpublished concepts, 11 pages of “never-before-seen sketches and designs by Alex Milne”, and a commentary by Chris himself, pointing out the easter eggs and other references.
