Courtesy of our friends over at IDW Publishing, we have the March 2014 comics solicitations! And it's looking to be quite the banging month, as both ReGeneration One and Dark Cybertron come to their conclusion. Will it be earth-shattering? Check out the previews below, which also include a G.I. Joe special cover featuring The Transformers!
Transformers Regeneration One #100—GEM OF THE MONTH
Simon Furman (w) • Andrew Wildman & Guido Guidi (a) • Andrew Wildman, Guidi (c)
THE GREATEST ENEMY... the greatest challenge... shall come from within. And there will be an ending. This is it, the battle the TRANSFORMERS must win, and yet dare not. The original and founding TRANSFORMERS comic comes to an epic and giant-sized conclusion, with all-out battle on CYBERTRON. Or should that be “Cybertrons”? Shocks, surprises, guest stars and more. It may be a cliché, but this one really does have it all.
