At the New York Comic-Con some additional information was released in regards to publishing plans for Transformers. The first is information on the planed prequel novel for the Transformers move called "Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday by Alan Dean Foster. The novel covers the discovery of Megatron in the Artic and what I presume is Sector 7 sending out a manned craft named Ghost 1 to find Cybertron.The second announcement, not related to the movie but riding on its coattails, is the comic book New Avengers/Transformers 4 issue mini-series that has the G1 Transformers from IDW's line meet up with the New Avenger from Marvel Comics. The comic will be written by Stuart Moore with art by Tyler Kirkman. The storyline is out of continuity that pretends that Transformers have existed in secret on the Marvel Universe's Earth but forced out in the open due to a war that breaks out between Symkaria and Latveria (Fantastic Four's Dr. Doom country). The first issue is expected to be out around July 4th.
The irony being that I'm pretty sure the Transformers Movie is comming out in direct competition to Fantastic Four 2.
ReplyDeleteAt least at one point they were on the same day as I wanted to take the day off work to see both.
I went to see Ghost Rider on Saturday and they had ads for both, taking note that F4 came out on July 4. I for one will wait to see that... but it might make the theater for Transformers less crowded on the first day.
ReplyDeleteThe Trailer for Transformers was the Mars probe one...which I thought was pretty crappy that they didn't have the new one going instead.
