That's a solid line up, although it lacks any surprises that I had been led to expect.

Yep, loved that. Nice to see them starting well, and giving us what we want. Here`s me looking forward to it when it comes over here.

I'm not gonna look.

I think the time has come for me to wait until I actually have that little beauty of a first issue in my hands.

I was just about to look until I read your post........like some kind of auto-response. But you're right. Its only 4 weeks away. We've waited for a year. Why spoil it now?

Not that I want to downgrade your find, Preds. I'm sure its wonderful. But Spidy is the voice of reason......

(I'm just trying to convince myself now, aren't I)

"go and have a look - you know you want to"
No, bad voices. Stop.......

!!!

Hound · Post by **Hound** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 10:25 pm

The Bumblebee cover is awesome, certainly the one I'll plump for.

Whoa, Plight of the Bumblebee. Cool.

Scraplet wrote:Its only 4 weeks away.

It's more like four months away.

And there's nothing wrong at looking at the cover.[/tempts]

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 6:15 am

Don't look, there are internal pages behind the link.

However, there's nowt wrong with looking at that cover, and is a great pic.
So if anyone not wanting to be spoiled wants, someone could put up the link to just that pic.

...
That is a great cover. Even the TF logo looks sweet.

Wildman's cover is teh seXxy also....bah...may need to buy both...

4 covers per issue for the first 6 issues? Bit many, don't you think?

Personally, oh hell yeah. However, there are a lot of completists, so I guess the figures support the notion that there are enough of those peeps who really do collect the enitre lot?

I met a bloke the other day - real life and everything - who collected all, and I mean all, the variants on the DW run and was quite enthusiastic about said collecting.

That just ain't my bag, baby.

Who are the artists?

Ozz · Post by **Ozz** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 11:36 am

Those who did the covers? Su, Guidi, Raiz and Wildman. At least it says so in the link in the initial post.

Sterling work.

Really nice choice of talents.

No Ruffalo?

Sometimes surprises are overrated... I love the idea of Simon and Don getting to do the book they really wanted to do before, you know, the "incident."

And when you see more of Don's pages (and his gatefold wraparound cover for issue 1), you'll see why we didn't want any surprises here.

If we could avoid suprises along the "incident" lines that would be great. But...

not even a Geoff Senior or an Andy Wildman shaped one?

More than happy with Don And SF on BW though.

Give me good Transformers stories and I couldn't care less who you put in there

also, as a polite request, make every cover as good as that Bumblebee one
