Comic book publisher IDW Publishing, who will be handling the comic book duties for the upcoming “Transformers” (and have been handling a lot of “Transformers” comics for a while now), has 5 pages (and the cover) of their upcoming official “Transformers” movie prequel comic up at their site for your perusal. It tells the tale of the Allspark, basically the movie’s version of the cartoon’s Energon Cubes. The panels are somewhat small and hard to read, but you can see enough if you’re interested.
In the four-part TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE PREQUEL, co-writers Chris Ryall (Zombies Vs. Robots) and Simon Furman (The Transformers: Escalation) team up with celebrated TRANSFORMERS artist Don Figueroa (The Transformers: Stormbringer) to deliver a special tale that spans centuries, travelingg from CYBERTRON to Earth. This special four-part series reveals the events that lead up to next Summer’s blockbuster movie, directed by Michael Bay and Executive-Produced by Steven Spielberg.
“This is no peripheral movie tie-in,” said co-writer Chris Ryall (who also spends his days as IDW’s Publisher and Editor-in-Chief. “Rather, it’s a fully realized, generations-spanning tale that also sets up and explains much of the backstory in the coming movie. With Paramount and Hasbro’s assistance, we’re able to show you the characters and explain some situations that are integral parts of the movie. It should also assuage any early fan trepidation and show that this prequel and the movie together are going to comprise quite an epic TRASNFORMERS story.”
TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE PREQUEL is an all-new, four-part series that hits shelves in February 2007 with a 32-page full-color comic book.
