All Hail megatron writer Shane McCarthy has posted a small update for issue #7 of the series, having now seen the sketches from Guido.

I’ve just recieved the initial sketches for a double page spread in AHM #7 that, seriously, may cause actual bodily harm to anyone that reads it.

You’ve been warned.

Guido is the man.  Either that or just an astonishing freak of nature.

Enjoy the wait.
