IDW Publishing Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall has announced on his blog a new childrens book from himself and IDW. I Am Optimus Prime, is a 32 page book, due out in May, and is described as a crossover between a picture book and a comic.
The characters are being modelled after the Robot Heroes toyline, with the art drawn by Joe and Rob Sharp, and will be a hardcover with dustjacket, which is shown below.
The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hype starts this week, with the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Prequel: Alliance #1, the first of the movie prequels, coming from The Reign of Starscream team of Chris Mowry and Alex Milne.
The issue takes place between the events of The Reign of Starscream and the events of the film, so is essential reading for all!
The official prequel to next summer’s “TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN” film kicks off here! “TRANSFORMERS: DESTINY” is comprised of two four-part stories covering events leading up to the film. In the first chapter of the DESTINY story arc, ”ALLIANCE,” readers will learn more about what happened to SECTOR SEVEN, what happened to the AUTOBOTS, and why their war on our planet is far from over.
Chris Ryall has put up the 3 covers, which show the new logo and layout for the covers, as well as what looks like a new IDW logo.
Chris Ryall has ruined the 10 day teasing of Maximum Dinobots #1 by posting a full 5 page preview and the 2 covers for the issue.
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.
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.
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.
Chris Ryall has posted a new cover on his blog and in the process revealed the next series of Marvel UK reprints from IDW. Again coming under the “Best of UK” subtitle, the next series will be City of Fear, following on from current series, Time Wars. The cover is drawn and coloured by Andrew Griffith.
Given that the January 09 previews are already out, The Transformers Best of UK: City of Fear is expected to start in February or March next year.
Three releases this week, with some new and some old material. Firstly the new stuff, completing the revelation saga is The Transformers Spotlight: Sideswipe, coming from Simon Furman and E.J. Su and Animated fans there is Transformers Animated: The Arrival #3, which continues the short, in-continuity stories.
For old material, we have 2 trade paperbacks, The Transformers Best of the UK: Space Pirates TPB, a reprint of the Marvel story and The Art of IDW’s Transformers TPB, which is the paperback version of the hardcover that came out last year.
Chris Ryall again has some covers for these titles on his blog.
Chris Ryall has answered a question on his blog about the release date for The Transformers Spotlight: Blurr, which will be in comic stores on 5th November. Be sure to keep checking Denton J. Tipton’s blog for an updated releases.
November sees a range of comics for sale, including The Transformers Spotlight: Optimus Prime 3-D Edition, The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #5, Transformers Animated: The Arrival #4, Transformers Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream TPB and Transformers Best of the UK: Time Wars #4.
IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall has posted the alternative covers for The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #5 and #6 on his blog. Done by artist Casey Coller and colorist Joana LaFuente, the covers continue the gritty style, but provide something different to Trevor Hutchison’s versions.
