IDW Publishing's Editor in Chief Chris Ryall must be going crazy right now, with all the work that he's been doing promoting the upcoming series for both All Hail Megatron and Reign of Starscream.

But that's not stopping him. Chris has teamed up with ROS writer Chris Mowry in an interview that discusses the upcoming series, whether or not Shia Lebeouf will make an appearance in the series and Godzilla.

Along with the interview comes some exceptional completed artwork that will leave you longing for more.

Small nitpick: You should really re-word the above. It almost sounds like Godzilla's going to appear in ROS. :-P

That said, whether or not Sam appears in it is no skin off my nose.

Sounds like this is going to be my type of Starscream. He may look a little funny, but his heart will be in the "right" place. If anyone can get me to feel more invested in the Movie-verse, he can do it

I would kill for a TF/Godzilla crossover! This must become reality!

The allspark cube falling to earth panel comes before sam putting the cube into Megatrons chest. They kind of got swapped.
Chris R. and Chris M. have done an awesome job. I love how they are developing Starscreams personality.
Funny thing about you mentioning Godzills is that I could see it actually fit in with what I think they are writing, oh about the end of issue 4. Too bad Godzilla in that interview has nothing to do with Reign of Starscream.
I want to see what happened to the "DEW" bot.

Issue #1 is great. I picked mine up at BotCon. I was really glad I did since it got delayed! :grin:

I also got both covers of Issue #1 signed by Chris M. and Alex Milne. Chris M. is a great guy. He talked to me for a long time about where he was coming from in the issue. He even showed me a completed unbound copy of Issue #2! Let's just say there's a surprise cameo from an old G1 character in that issue! I also talked to Alex about the interview that was posted on here about his troubles with drawing Screamers feet. But, I digress. The issue is great and pick it up. Issue #1 also answers some questions leftover from the movie.

As long as ol'Ryall's in the mood to assure things, how about assuring of editing becoming of a Editor in Chief? :grin:

The first issue really was above and beyond my expectations for a movieverse comic.

Outstanding writing.

Really made you feel sympathetic to Starscream.

Plus, it tied up somethings like the "meteor modes" and it showed us a glimpse of Movie Protoform versions of Prowl and Cosmos.
