IDW's May Comic Solicitations

Postby Hotrod » Mon Feb 05, 2007 6:44 pm

IDW's list of comic book solicitations for the month of May are now know. Comics Continuum has received IDW's solicitations for May and they have posted them. It looks like there will be alot of Transformers books offered by IDW. Here is a list of the Transformers titles that will be available:

"THE TRANSFORMERS: MEGATRON: ORIGIN #1

Written by Eric Holmes, art by Alex Milne, covers by Milne and Marcelo Matero.

Before allegiance, rank and function -- before war -- a civilian will become a warrior, a warrior will become a leader. As a leader he will learn of the most powerful weapon on the planet -- a weapon powerful enough to bind legions to his will -- a faction named Decepticon. This landmark story brings the major players of the faction together for the first time in a seminal story for Megatron, the Decepticons, and The Great War.

32 pages, $3.99.


THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE PREQUEL #4

Written by Simon Furman and Chris Ryall, art and cover by Don Figueroa.

Their war has come to our world. Now, as the Robots in Disguise continue their struggle on the planet Earth, only the organization known as Sector 7, and an Autobot named Bumblebee, stand in the way of total victory for the Decepticons! Furman, Ryall and Figueroa conclude the official beginning of the Summer movie extravaganza right here! Figueroa contributes two special covers for this issue!

32 pages, $3.99.

Optimus Prime and Megatron are missing, presumed dead, the civil war for control of Cybertron has degenerated into a dark cauldron of confusion and turmoil, splinter factions clashing in endless border skirmishes. Into this potent powder keg of a divided world comes The Fallen, a Transformer from the planet's prehistory... with dark designs of his own! IDW is proud to present an all-new collection of this long-out-of-print tale from the Transformers' past.

Damn, all that stuff just in May? I am most pleased, yeeeessssss. Definately can't wait for the Megatron Origin story as well as "The Ark" & the Don Premiere Artwork book. That & the Best of Prime/Megatron. Not really hyped up on WWI Vol. 2 since I already picked up every issue of The Dark Ages.

-_- As good as it all may sound, I just wish IDW wouldn't put out so much so quickly, considering how some of the items aren't cheap.

Oh, nice. The Megatron origin is not written by Furman. I thought it would be and was gonna pass. I'll definitely pick this up now. Also, it's got Milne for art. He's pretty good. I am quite happy about all this.

Reprint city!! IDW must be taking advice from Hasbro. I'm also excited about the Origins book and The Ark book could be interesting.

Or worth it. And don't forget that this was what Dreamwave used to do.
