Nothing particularly new although interesting comments from a demographic perspective...

New magazine launch ­ Transformers Comic

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.

Cool. 52 pages is a lot innit?

[Denyer]

It's awesome, and stonking value straight from Titan... (£6.25 per three issues.) That allows room for an issue of IDW reprint, ten pages of original material, plus the usual letters/puzzles/etc. Either that or it's a typo...

[spiderfrommars]

There's also an extra back up strip isn't there? Spotlighting individual TFs.

[_Derek_]

I look forward to a new British title, always room for more story. I hope I'm not dissappointed.

[Hound]

I am subscribed and eagerly awaiting!
