The owner of the comic shop i go to asked me if i was interested in doing a cover for and store exclusive book. this was something that we had talked about many times in the past but there hadn't been a transformers one to do....until now
the owner pitched the idea to me about doing a cover, but was unsure about doing it since he wasn't aware about where the books fit into the main stories. i asked what books he was offered a cover for. he mentioned a G.I.Joe one, then a tf comic about megatron. i was like ok.....then i was like, wait, what, megatron? do you mean spotlight megatron? then i was like OMG i want to do that
so after a discussion that day, i came up with some roughs. the owner and i went over them, and then i whipped up the cover. it was a blast to do. i love drawing this design of megatron. i know its not the most loved design, but i do enjoy drawing it. i added the store logo in the bottom cover plus a couple extra decepticons that i knew the owner liked it was a joy to work on
so this will be a store exclusive comic. i will have a few copies that people will be able to get from me at the various conventions i will be at, but other then from me, stadiums comics will be the only place you'll be able to get this cover of the book
here is a like to there store [link]
here a link to there facebook for the in store signing i will be doing [link]

the fabulous colors were provided by the ever so talented Josh Perez. i think he out did himself on this cover. it really turned out well
it was a joy to work with him on this project. i always wished when i was working on the ongoing comics that i would have gotten to do an issue or 2 with him.
i love all the textures he has going on in the image.

well , back to work for me
enjoy

Soundwave wanted to give being a Gundham a whirl.

Oh right. I thought it was in response to DAYUM.
Because that cover is pretty DAYUM. So you're not allowed to know whether it's DAYUM or not.

Because it is. DAYUM, I mean.

What's wrong with digital

In my case, I can't access it. I have no smart phone, tablet or adaptor on my electronic devices, and I prefer not to read things on screen, if I can.

So nothing wrong with it, I just prefer print.

(A lot of writers and artists actually do, though! Duncan Fegredo, Mike Carey, Jock, among others, have all told me how they love the possibilities of digital creation, production and distribution. The industry, however, did take a while to realise that digital is a viable solution, rather than the end of the comicsverse.)
