Transformers Comics and Art Haul Thread!

You know what, the plastic junkies have their thread - I think it's time we comics readers got our own, too. :D

You know the gist: post your weekly, monthly, seasonal (or daily/hourly, if you're that into it) hauls of Transformers comics, digital, trades, single issues, collections, hardcovers!
Also allowed are commissions, autographs, sketches and prints. Even fan comics and exclusives (as long as they're not your creation - show those off in the Fan Artwork threads).

Oh, and do post pictures if you want, so we can all go 'ooooooh' at the prettiness. Image



I'll start off with pre-New Comic Book day stuff, as I got some cash this week and decided to finally grab all the IDW -ation series and the Spotlight volumes!
They should be arriving by the end of this week, they all dispatched today.

And in terms of pretty pictures, here's a Josh Burcham commission:
Image
And he couldn't decide on the colours, so he sent me two!
Image

EDIT: Three -ations arrived today!
Image
Yes yes yes, they're in the wrong order.

I feel bad about double-posting, but no one seems to care about the thread.
If it doesn't get any more views by next week, I'll abandon it myself. :-(

BUT. Today is new comic book day, and along with picking up Spotlight: Hoist, these arrived in the post!

This is a great idea for a 'haul' thread and surprised no one else had put this forward, because like you say, the plastic junkies have their threads...

[shameless cheeky plug]

I love the idea of folk showing off their original Transformers related art collected from signings or conventions, that elusive holy grail comic book or long awaited signature or photo with the God-like genius that is Simon Furman! ;)

:BOT: :CON:

Are we allowed to post bits n bobs weve picked up in the past or only new stuff?

Post anything!

As long as it's comics-related in some way. :D

Point in case: a Kris Carter commission - DJD's sado-linguist Vos!

Ha! Nice! :D

I just received two TPBs I never thought I'd buy. But they were cheap, and the completist in me was uncomfortable with how the shelf looked.
(Thanks to fellow ODB Electron!)

Glad I stumbled across this thread. I was thinking about starting my own collection thread but I can post a few pics up here instead.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on RID #17 once you've read it. I really enjoyed it and had no problems with Ramondellis artwork. Quite the opposite. Page 16 was fantastic :D .

So I thought I'd show off some recent additions to my collections. Page 2 from the RID annual by Guido Guidi. Original inks over pencils. Got it back from the Frame shop about 3 weeks ago and haven't put it up yet. If you guys like it I will post some more.

Whoah! That is a nice page to own, you lucky person you. :shock:

I have read RID 17, and I left some comments in the review thread!

Wow! Very nice piece Q!

Framing original pieces of artwork really sets them off well, I have framed some of my Lew Stringer, John Bolton and Alan Moore bits and they look lovely!

I should get down my local Art Centre for framing as I still have an original page of Andy Wildmans Marvel Transformers artwork which introduced 'The Neo-Knights'!

Bring back The Neo-Knights! Ay! ;)

And thanks too. Framing is the only way to go for displaying original comic art. Really enhances the page IMO. There's still 8 issues of Regen to go, so you never know about the Neo knights :D . They were always favorites of Furmans from what I've read. Get that page framed and displayed!

Question, could I post stuff in here even if I've had it for ages?
I don't really go out and buy original comic art or commission things due to low funds, but I do have the odd thing by artists.

Please do! Both robotmel and quickmixed have done that, and I just want the thread to catch on a bit. I only update it regularly to keep it floating. :D

I'm hoping/dreading the amount of stuff I'll get from AA this summer. #-o

OK, if that is so I'll post one every day, maybe we can get more interested that way. :D
First off a commission I got off of Boo, after pestering him about what we can expect in the RTS/ Generations lines. All it cost me was the BIS Universe Galvatron repaint.

Image

Can you guess what I think of Drift? :lol:

Next Up, Nick Roche from AA, and then a sketch by Derrick Wyatt and then my last piece which is cartoon related. :grin:

Derrick Wyatt? A little jealous. Just a little.
Roche, not so much, I have two - and I adore the Kup he did for me.

I like the Venom (Spawn?)/Drift sketch! :D

EDIT: You know what, I'll show you Nick's Kup.
Image

And here it is coloured by JP Bove.

That Venom/Drift sketch is rad!
Hopefully I will have a Nick Roche sketch to show you guys this week also. My LSOTW black label is on route as we speak. Anyone else collecting IDW Limited black or blue labels?

OK, here's my Roche Kup.

Got it for free at AA while having an awesome discussion with him and Roberts. :D
You should have seen his face when I jockenly suggested ROTF Fallen after hearing how he hates the over complex movie designs :lol:

Thanks, I loves it.
No I don't collect those, too expensive for me, plus I feel guilty enough buying the normal trades already.

Tomorrow Derrick Wyatt :D

Alas, no. They look very nice, but I already have most of the stuff I want, and they are way too expensive for me. :(


Nice Kup, DM! :D
I'll make sure I ask Roche for a movieverse sketch at AA this year, tell him it's for you.

In the meantime, I see your Kup, and raise you a Perceptor.

Colours by JP, again.
