This past weekend we reported here that IDW has officially announced that there will be a Transformers and Avengers Crosssover. Now Marvel has followed with a new post on their webstie announcing the big event. A little bit more information is given in the announcement. Click here to read it for yourself.

"Even though it's a jointly produced project, our aim is to approach it as a Marvel book using Marvel creators, so it will be interesting to see creators you don't usually associate with these characters, that haven't had a chance to do these characters and to also see our characters interact with them."

While all details are yet to be revealed, there are a few juicy tidbits to talk about. "We are approaching this as a shared world," notes Rosemann, "but the Transformers, you know, as the famous tagline says, they're robots in disguise. They've been here the whole time. If you've read the first two Transformer story arcs, you know they don't take place in New York City, where the Avengers seem to spend most of their time, so these characters just haven't met each other yet. We're framing this story as taking place between the first two NEW AVENGERS story arcs and the location is actually the border between the nations of Symkaria and Latveria -- so we're considering it a Marvel story that counts in continuity."

If they're looking to kill this thing before it starts, it's probably better not to do it at all.

The very IDEA is likely to kill this thing before it starts... Crossovers like this almost never work. Plus, with its release on July 5th, it'll wind up buried under the movie avalance, with only die-hard fans of either Transformers or Avengers looking for it.

I don't think they'll be careful enough to make this work.

I will reserve judgement until I see it.

Not interested at all with all these crossovers. Just do not make any sense at all.
