Simon Furman has once again updated his blog, this time with information pertaining to Spotlight: Arcee.

I expect Arcee to be divisive. Though I hope also, regardless of the whole he-she-it thing going on, people will enjoy it for the rattling good actioner I believe it to be. And boy, does a lot happen this issue.

Guest-stars abound… Ultra Magnus, Fortress Maximus (taking his full IDW bow), Banzaitron, the Combaticons (also debutees), Jetfire, the Technobots and more!

And it all revolves around a certain character whose name has been uttered more and more frequently in various Spotlights (and even the ‘ongoing’ by now… I think), and will play a big part in what’s to come this year. So, while self-contained, this is without hyperbole a KEY issue.

Spotlight Arcee is writen by Simon Furman, with Art duties going to Alex Milne.

Due to the President's Day Holiday, exact release date information is unknown, but Spotlight: Arcee is expected to ship out on either Wednesday the 20th or Thursday the 21st of February 2008 (and a day later for UK, Australia and other markets).

More on Nova Prime? Hmmm....

To bad comic shops near me suck!

I was thinking he meant more on Jhiaxus myself, but the two are of course related, so both may be developed more fully.

If I were a betting man, I'd say the safe bet is Jhiaxus, he is the one who "developed" Arcee, the Monstructor, amongst many many others.

How this ties into the main books is the most important part to me.

My LCS doesn't have it on their Wednesday the 20th expected shipping list yet. I'm definately calling tomorrow and finding out for sure/stopping by to pick it up.

This would otherwise be an empty release week for me titles-wise.

This comic was outstanding.

A good story and a worthy addition to the mythos.
