Out this week (Jan 31st), in the UK only, is issue #8 of Titan’s Transformers comic/magazine. As usual, in amongst the features, free gifts and general fabulousness, there’s an all-new, UK-original comic strip to be found. This one, featuring Ironhide and an elite Special Forces unit, is set in the immediate aftermath of the movie and takes the action back to Qatar, where the lethal Scorponok was last seen burrowing deep beneath the desert sand to escape an aerial bombardment. That particular loose end is (over)due to get wrapped up in spectacular style, but things don’t quite go as planned for Autobot and escort! Story is by me, art by Staz Johnson (doing his first Transformers work since… I don’t know when!). The issue (as well as the continuing saga of Beast Wars and the Movie Prequel) contains a Bonecrusher character profile, a lesson in How To Draw Bumblebee and the usual reader letters & art. Plus, free TF tattoos and sweat band! For a look at the cover and some of Staz’s epic interior strip art, click on the link and thumbnail (respectively) below. And watch this space for upcoming details of US happenings in the UK movie-verse direction!

A preview page of the comic is located here on our front-page story!

Got my copy today. The Ironhide story is one of the better UK original strips. Very cool, it adds a nice extra layer of depth to both Scorponok and Ironhide.

Ok - probably a dumb question - but is there any way to get this in the US??

I'm loving that movie-characters are still going strong in a comic, but don't see it available easily here... help?

Oh, your arse. A single IDW book has 22 pages of comics and £2.85 at a Forbidden Planet. This has twenty-SIX pages of comics and only costs £2.60, not to mention that it has character profiles, articles about new merchandise, interviews, competitions, how-to-draw features and free gifts.
