Thanks to Phill for posting the news on our message board..
Some breif tipbits...
Our "0" issue in October will carry a price of $0.99, and will be a 24-page comic, offering a 16-page story that sets up the entire first storyline, some interviews and editorial pages that speak to our future plans, and additional pieces of artwork from other folks, too, all carrying IDW's usual high production values.....
We plan to interact more closely with some of these fan sites on some projects over the next few months, too unbeknownst to them until they read this, anyway. And we'll be attending Bot-Con in Dallas this September, so it'll be nice to meet some of the loyal fans face-to-face. In fact, you Bot-Con attendees are in for a nice surprise this year, too more on that later.
Our initial title, which starts in October's "0" issue and continues in the 6-part Transformers: Infiltration that debuts in January, will be its own continuity
Which is why we'll logically then lead right into our Crisis on Infinite Cybertrons maxi-series by Wolfman and Perez..
I've actually been talking to Simon for months, and he's an integral part of our relaunch plans. I don't think you could point me to another person who's more well versed in Transformers lore than Simon. It's for that reason that he's going to be our writer on the ongoing Transformers book, as well as some other projects down the line.
