Thanks to the OTCA Boards, comes confirmation that the Author and Cover Artist for the IDW Publishing series All Hail Megatron will be making an in-store comic signing appearance on Saturday the 7th of March 2009, in Perth Western Australia.

Shane McCarthy and Trevor Hutchison will be signing comics from Midday at Comic Zone Perth.

The signing coincides with the release of the first All Hail Megatron trade paperback.

So all you Perth based fans, head down to ComicZone from Midday March 7th.

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more information on future signings and public appearances.

I'm soon going to petition IDW to have Shane McCarthy fired in any way possible, as SOON as possible, and have Mr. Furman get this continuity back on track. Only watching the first season of the American show does NOT make you the proper force behind what WAS a great bit of storytelling...

Seriously, just stick to teaching and perfecting swing dancing Shane. You should see how well a comic book written by you and drawn by Alex Milne would do. Out of all the nonsense true TransFans have had to put up with, the minute we get a moments rest to enjoy real bold Transformers stories again in the wake of Pat Lee's ego killing Dreamwave, you two come along and think that just because you're on a payrole you do something worthwile. SIMON FURMAN is worthwile, DON FIGUEROA is worthwile, JAMES RAIZ, JOSH NIZZI, JOSH PEREZ, and E.J. SU are worthwile... hell, I'd even still consider BUDIANSKY relevant, but not YOU TWO. Never...

I'm leaving for Sydney the day before. Doh!

Love Hutch's covers, wouldn't have minded getting some of them signed.

Hey there Mr Oilspill, thanks for the support. Perhaps if you get in touch with Comiczone, we can organise to get your copies signed.

And hey there Mr PlasmaEnergyGod, it'd be great if you could make it to the signing... you should bring that petition with you.

Thanks Hutch, that's a damn fine idea, I'm going to do that. Welcome to Seibertron too, the majority of people here aren't arseholes. Honest

I'm an arsehole when it gets to the piece of fail that is All Hail Megatron. But that'S not based on the art, the art is good, the covers you make are interesting for the most part but the "writing" is so bad that I just quit idw. Even Dreamwave was better then the steaming pile of dung McCartney produced. Heck even "The Beast Within had better story telling.

I like Alex Milne's artwork, I don't think it's all that bad.

Agreed, everything I've seen of his post Megatron:Origins has been excellent. I haven't seen the movie-verse comics though.

I apologize for the rant & rave fellow Seibertronians, but I'm sure ALL Hail Megatron, as entertaining as it is, has ticked us all off to some degree due to what we were experiencing with Simon Furman's superior writing. In most interviews I've read it just doesn't seem to me that Shane truly respects the work that came before the series, movie included. As for Alex Milne, I met him at BotCon 2008 and he was just too "Rock Star" in my opinion compared to the kind and humble Simon Furman. Megatron: Origin was difficult to follow and most of his work post-Origin, while easy to follow, is far too hollow and unrefined. Milne's skill is better put to use when doing covers at best from my perspective. Again, forgive the rant; if I upset or embarassed anyone here, I do apologize.
