Titan Magazines has new pen and ink sketches for the upcoming Transformers UK series. The new artwork is by Geoff Senior, who is well known for his artwork in the Marvel Transformers UK series. The first issue goes on sale July 19th.

Yup, more terrible art from Geoff "I'm afraid of the third dimension" Senior.

i have to admit at first i was like this stuff is just enh but now it seems much more expressive than realistic as if he's trying to convey his own ideas and how he sees the world kinda crazy

I agree completely, every comic artist should have exactly the same style regardless of the context or complicity because all that really matters in a comic book is having a pretty picture to look at.

[That was sarcasm btw in case it was too subtle.]

Personally I've always loved his art style. Possibly my favourite artist from the old Marvel TF books.

They dont get Sarcasm over there dude, remember? :lol:

Those pics remind me of just why i enjoyed the old school TF comics so much back then; action and story as opposed to a computer coloured photocomic.

Not the best stuff ive ever seen from him, but im definately looking forward to picking up this comic when it comes out.

Ah, it reminds me of my 'Legacy of Unicron' book. The drawing is brill. Let's hope the story is too!

Groovy. I really dig Geoff's work.

Nice, it reminds me of the old UK comics quite a bit. Senior can always bring out the dark and industrial look in TF`s

Agree that a story is equally as important, that's why I'm disappointed with just about everything else as well.

Still, the visual art aspect of a comic must hold up its end of the bargain.

This seems completely cut and paste from g2, and i love it. I'm very happy to have all of the new artist out there, but senior was always one of my favorites (even more than wildman i must admit). Its nice to see someone whose style hasn't changed a bit, whether people like it or lump it. His style is one that hasn't become outdated but simply is no longer mainstream. I'm happy his still as good as always.

Senior was THE TF artist back in the day. Much better than Wildman's 'fleshy' style which didn't suit TF's at all.

So this is based on the movie continuity? Explains why there isn't a TF looking bot in the place aside from Prime.

That said, be cool to actually be able to buy a, hopefully decent, TF comic locally without having to travel across half the country.
