IDW Feb. Solicitations – Beast Wars#1 & Infiltration #2
Comics Continuum have received the IDW February Solicitations for Beast Wars #1 and Infiltration #2
TRANSFORMERS BEAST WARS #1
Written by Simon Furman, art and covers by Don Figueroa.
The long-awaited pairing of writer Simon Furman and artist extraordinaire Don Figueroa on a Beast Wars saga is finally upon us. The Beast Wars — the time-lost series of conflicts on Earth, where heroic Maximals are pitted against evil Predacons­is celebrating its 10th anniversary with this special mini-series. In chapter one, as one strand of the Beast Wars rages on, another is just beginning. Predacon general Magmatron is on a mission to capture the renegade Megatron, but his true intentions are far more terrifying and revolutionary; his ultimate aim�to bring Cybertron itself to its knees. All he needs… is an army. And he knows exactly where to find one! Furman and Figueroa begin a towering new era of Beast Wars majesty! For this debut issue, artist Figueroa has provided three cover images, one of which is available as a gatefold wraparound.
32 pages, $2.99.
THE TRANSFORMERS INFILTRATION #2
Written by Simon Furman, art by EJ Su, covers by Su, Guido Guidi, James Raiz and Andrew Wildman.
IDW’s Transformers revival continues here! Something is very wrong! For over two years, the Decepticon infiltration unit has been patiently building and fortifying its power base on Earth, maintaining an entirely covert presence. But now­open warfare rages on the roads and in the skies, and exposure seems a certainty. It’s all falling apart, and Autobot medic Ratchet wants to know why. It seems Verity Carlo’s stolen computer is the key, but the real trick is staying alive long enough to unlock its secrets. 22 pages of pounding pursuit and automotive action­it doesn’t get much better than this. Artist EJ Su provides a cover connected to his issue #1 cover image, and variant covers are once again offered up by Guido Guidi, James Raiz, and Andrew Wildman.
32 pages, $2.99.
Metrodome fail again
It would seem by Chris McFeely’s latest post in the Headmasters DVD thread in our forums, that the final (release) version of the Headmasters DVD set hasn’t actually had his corrected subtitles implemented. Obviously we don’t know how bad it is just yet, but keep an eye out for his review later.
