In April, IDW is going to come out with a black and white manga sized version of Stormbringer. Plus, Fun Productions will publish the Fan Club comics for mass consumption, ala the mass released Beast Wars convention comic, in a 72 page collected edition!

Army of Darness meets Zombie Marvel. Dot. Dot. Dot. The Marvel univers(es) just colapst into one another. Does this mean Ash could be in the movies, if they killed Peter and he rose from the dead? ... oh, wait he IS in the Spider-man movies! ^_^

Covers for the Megatron origin IDW mini-series!
I loved Milne's work on the late issues of the Energon comic, so it's nice to see him doing work for IDW. Plus, unlike Pat Lee, who Milne's stuck to even into Dreamengine days, IDW will actually, y'know, *pay* him...(What a novel idea!)

I'd say "Built to Rule" but that would resurrect traumatic memories. ^_^
Interestingly, this will be written by someone other than Furman, but with Furman having created this universe, I'm sure they'll run a tighter ship than at Dreamwave, where one hand didn't know what the other was doing. Heck, one hand didn't usually even know what *it* was doing, there. >_< Pat Lee's penciling hand, to be precise.

Or Brad Mc"I have three names!"'s hand dropping plot points faster then he could make them up, or Patlee obviously changing the story as he was drawing. "No, I think Prime would kill all the humans in the world if he was givin the chance, I really, do, that's why on this page he's raping puppies!"
And the only spots of light back in the "Dark age" was Ferman and Don working together.
Oh, and Kill that colorist.

Well, the Energon comic was pretty damn good, although it was never finished. I mean, yah, it was much more of your lightweight, popcorn book, but hey, they figured it'd be the kid-targeted book. (Except for the fact that it wasn't sold anywhere kids could *read* it...so they should've just made it a full-blown serious story.) Still, it was what the Energon cartoon *should've* been.
Oh, one of my biggest points of contention with Dreamwave was how they managed to screw up the reunion of Furman and Andy Wildman with their murky colors. I've seen the lineart, and Wildman was as strong as ever...but as with the Wreckers #2, DW applied a totally inappropriate style of coloring to his work, uh, baddening it. Making it worse? Wildman and Dan Khanna (The excellent artist behind Wreckers) have a very animated style that needs the sort of "four-color" (I know it's digital, now, but it looks like the old style coloring) coloring that IDW is giving EJ's and Roche's work. Heck, so does Guido, and they colored his work on Armada and Energon just fine. No love for the Wild Man, though? >_<
Oh well...I still wanna get the trade of War Within Dark Ages, since War Within was the best thing DW had going for them and I love Wildman's pencils, but...Jeezum, it coulda been so much *better*-handled!
But yah...they should've gotten worried as soon as Mick said "This is my first comic writing gig!" Uh, yeah...Toppe Flats was the second time I ever tried to write a comic script, and although I'm happy with it...there's a reason it's forever condemned to the "Workroom" as rough work. Surely there could've been more experienced writers DW could have tapped. Y'know, someone in the office. Someone like...SIMON FURMAN?! Loathe as I am to quote Will Smith, "AW HELL NAW..." Somehow I don't think Furman would actually have turned DOWN another title...

I dunno, I'm looking at the first volume of War Within, and although he's not a patch on our current guy, Josh Burcham, who handles Don's work at IDW, Ruffs was a pretty good *colorist*...just utterly putrid at pencilling. (Sixshot Spotlight shows he just might have a particle or two of talent waiting to be exploited, though, although all I could think reading it was, "Darn, why couldn't Roche have done this one, too?")
Ah, Nick Roche...a fine addition to the world of Transformers artists:
