Not only do IDW publish Transformer comics, but since 2008 they've been publishing a great little series from Joe Hill (son of Stephen King) called "Locke & Key".
I love this series, it's wonderfully creepy and can't wait to see how it's adapted for tv.
But the connection to Transformers doesn't stop just with IDW, stepping into the role of executive producers will be Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
The downside unfortnately is that it's going to be produced by Fox who have a history of killing off good shows that I like!
Linky'Locke & Key' lands at Fox
Net makes series commitment to Joe Hill comic adaptation

The TV series adaptation of Joe Hill's comic book "Locke & Key" has landed at Fox.
"Locke & Key"
The network has made a series commitment to the project, which is produced by Dreamworks TV and K.O. Paper Products through the latter's deal with 20th Century Fox TV.
"Star Trek" producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are on board to executive produce, along with Heather Kadin, Josh Friedman, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank and Ted Adams.
Hill, the son of Stephen King, penned "Locke & Key" with artist Gabriel Rodriguez. "Locke" chronicles the Locke children as they attempt to recover from their father's murder by a deranged high school student. The family moves to Lovecraft, Massachusetts, where the youngest Locke discovers trans-formative keys hidden within its walls.
The comic debuted in 2008 and is currently in its fourth installment.
Friedman ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") has been tapped as the project's lead writer.
Kurtzman and Orci are launching CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" this fall, in addition to working on Fox's "Fringe."
