Revelations Revealed!

Written by Big Bot on March 11, 2008 | Comics,Generation One,IDW Publishing,News |

After the end of The Transformers: Devastation this month, fans have been not only wondering when the next series starts but which series it will be. All Hail Megatron and Revelations have been mentioned but not officially announced until now.

Chris Ryall, on his blog, has posted the first details on the next arc, the ‘Transformers Revelations Saga’. However, instead of being a 6 issue story arc like Infiltration, Escalation and Devastation before, the re will instead be four chapter, presented as Spotlights.

This may sound confusing but Chris had this to say on the naming of the series “It’ll be, like, Transformers Spotlight: Cyclonus, with the “Revelations Saga, part 1″ as a subtitle or some such.”.

As you will have gathered from that quote, the first Spotlight will be on Cyclonus, with the second being Hardhead, and both covers have been shown. The other 2 characters we will let you debate over from the sketch.

E.J. Su and Nick Roche will be providing covers for all four issues with Su also doing the artwork for issues 1 and 4. The series is set to start in June.

Both issues are being published by IDW Publishing and each feature 2 episodes worth of content.

After waiting and waiting, we finally have some art from next months new series from IDW, Transformers: The Reign of Starscream.

Beast Wars Sourcebook Errors Needed

Written by Big Bot on | Beast Wars,Beast Wars II,Beast Wars Neo,Comics,IDW Publishing,News | Tags: , —

Over the last couple of months, IDW have released the four part series, Beast Wars Sourcebooks, which bring together characters from Beast wars, Beast Wars II and Beast wars Neo and give them profiles. Unfortunately, the books weren’t a complete success, with text and colouring errors as well as complaints from fans that the images were too small and incomplete and that the profiles didn’t make the characters unique enough.

New IDW Editor Denton J. Tipton has posted on the IDW forums asking for a complete list of errors in the books so that they can be corrected for the TPB release. Dan Khanna will be helping with colour corrections, with the added bonus that some extra artwork will be included as well as the missing glossary. Ben Yee will also be involved.

So if you want a more complete and accurate collection, get involved.
