Simon Furman has updated his blog with information on the latest issue of Transformers (the comic by Titan Magazines) which is due for release on Thursday (tomorrow).
Out this week (Jan 31st), in the UK only, is issue #8 of Titan’s Transformers comic/magazine. As usual, in amongst the features, free gifts and general fabulousness, there’s an all-new, UK-original comic strip to be found.
This one, featuring Ironhide and an elite Special Forces unit, is set in the immediate aftermath of the movie and takes the action back to Qatar, where the lethal Scorponok was last seen burrowing deep beneath the desert sand to escape an aerial bombardment. That particular loose end is (over)due to get wrapped up in spectacular style, but things don’t quite go as planned for Autobot and escort! Story is by me, art by Staz Johnson (doing his first Transformers work since… I don’t know when!).
The
issue (as well as the continuing saga of Beast Wars and the Movie
Prequel) contains a Bonecrusher character profile, a lesson in How To
Draw Bumblebee and the usual reader letters & art. Plus, free TF
tattoos and sweat band! For a look at the cover and some of Staz’s epic
interior strip art, click on the link and thumbnail (respectively)
below. And watch this space for upcoming details of US happenings in
the UK movie-verse direction!
