1st COLOUR Page from UK Comic.
One Word. Wow.
(Click for hi-res image)
On-sale IN THE UK, 19th July 07.
http://www.titanmagazines.co.uk/transformers
Wow.
edit: Press release --
This 4-weekly, 52 page comic reunites some of the biggest names in the
business to bring the eternal struggle between Autobots and Decepticons to
audiences old and new. Whether you remember Megatron as a smoking Walther
P-38, or your Transformers adventure begins with their war on our world, the
publication of Transformers Comic heralds a triumphant return for the robots
in disguise...
Legendary Transformers writer Simon Furman brings his dark materials to the
first issue, and many more to come, with all-new self contained stories
tying straight in to the IDW prequels. He teams up with the prolific and
iconic artist Geoff Senior, who¹s wielding his pencils and inks for the new
Transformers generation.
Once those shapeshifting robots have you hooked, it seems there¹s no escape:
Transformers Comic editor Steve White started life as a humble colourist on
Marvel¹s Transformers title way back in Œ86. Now he¹s transformed into the
driving force behind this title.
Steve White, Editor of Transformers Comic said:
It¹s been kind of weird to be returning to Transformers after 20 years,
especially as it¹s with all the same faces I worked with originally _ Simon,
Geoff, Andy Wildman, Robin Smith, Richard Starkings. Feels like I¹ve slipped
back in time. But then you take one look at the movie and you realize just
how false that assumption is! Even the comics represent a quantum jump in
technology, and I think we¹ll find we have a whole new generation of fans
who¹ll go see the movie and pick up the comic _ and have no idea about the
longevity of the franchise and how it¹s evolved! Most of them probably won¹t
have been born when I first worked on Transformers _ but the talent of the
artists and writer are still there and it¹s going to be brilliant!
Kids can catch up with the Transformers characters every four weeks with
Transformers Comic, on sale at all good retailers from 19 July, priced
£2.60.

Yeh, I still would have preferred a traditional colourist, but it's been well-done - Geoff's just too good to have his work look processed, unlike much of the Dreamwave graduates.
The only real worry I have left is that this is an all-stops-out promo piece, like that superb Pat Lee poster, and the majority won't be as good. Well, it's not my only worry, but ones such as the idea of that amateurish, inker-dependant, Furman butler Andy "Andrew" Wildman being resorted too in later issues have already been realised.

Nice, my initial fears that the colours would let the side down have lessened (are the drones supposed to be all grey though or is it Yomotovesque block colouring?).
