Titan Producing Animated Comic in UK

Written by Big Bot on June 16, 2008 | Animated,Comics,News,Titan | Tags: , ,

This Thursday marks the release of Titan Magazine’s Transformers #13, completing the Twilight’s Last Gleaming story. Also in the magazine is confirmation that Titan will soon be producing a Transformers: Animated comic series, exclusively for the UK.

No specific dates on when it will start or what sort of stories we can expect, but Simon Furman will be posting more on his blog later this week, hopefully with some details.

Simon Furman Blog: Storm Warning

Written by Big Bot on | Comics,IDW Publishing,News | Tags: ,

With the release of The Transformers Spotlight: Cyclonus this week, Simon Furman has provided details on what goes on in the issue, and provides some questions to how this first part of the Revelation Saga fits in within the continuity.

But, as well as being part 1 of 4, it’s also a Spotlight, and the character focus falls, first and foremost, on Cyclonus. But who is IDW/TF-verse Cyclonus? Given the recent IDW reinvention of Galvatron (in Spotlight Galvatron) it can’t be the animated movie version (as there’s no Unicron)

Reign of Starscream #3 out on 16th July

Artist Chris Mowry has updated his blog with a release date for his current series work, Transformers Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream #3 for 16th July. The title was originally due for June.

Also in the post is a postcard from Cybertron, “Wishing you were here”, but actually requesting help. It seems nothing changes on that planet.
