New UK Comic
A message left on the Transfans.net forums seems to indicate that a new UK Transformers comic is on the way. Here are a few of the details
Hi there. My name is Steve White. I’m going to be editing the new TF comic in the UK, due out from Titan in July to coincide with the movie release. We’re working pretty far ahead and what I was hoping for was readers letters/artwork that we can run in the first couple of issues, which will be wrapped before the first one actually hits the streets. Any help gratefully received. Email me at steve.white@titanemail.com
The comic will be mostly movie continuity, serialising the IDW prequel material. However, we will be originating our 10-page strips, written by Si Furman. We have various artists lined up; first issue should see the return of Geoff Senior whose keen to have a go for old time’s sake. That’s TBC but looks pretty solid.
Transformers Rated R in USA?
In a recent interview with IESB.net, Shia LaBoeuf mentioned that a recent cut of the Transformers film was sent to the MPAA, and received an R rating for intense action and violence. Thats the first bit of good news. The second is that Mr Spielberg convinced them to lower the rating to a PG-13.
Now lets see if the same can be done to the BBFC.
