Our second early three pager from iTunes brings us Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #2. The early look is mirrored below. We'll have the full preview and review when we receive our copy from our friends over at IDW.

BOOTS ON THE GROUND! The war has begun—and no bars will be held! SCARLETT’s forces go head-to-head with MEGATRON’s hordes—and the most off-beat adventure in comic book history hits a new level of dangerous alliances, deadly invasions, and devastating betrayals!

Is that a current issue of a Transformers comic? I think it has the look/feel of something from the 80's.

^^ It's exactly the point. Tom Scioli (co-writer and artist) is a huge fan of Jack Kirby and it's influenced his art style heavily, and when he considered trying something different John Barber (co-writer) convinced him to lean heavily back into it for a more fun look.

The retro look is definitely intentional.

See I'm more interested in what the grand scheme is for this series. Maybe interested enough to think about TPB in the future, but right now I'll stick to RiD and MtMtE.
