D-Drive has popped in to let us know what will be shipping next week, January 23rd from Diamond comics. On top for next Wednesday is:
MARS ATTACKS TRANSFORMERS (ONE SHOT) #1 (also shipping 1-in-10 and 1-in-20 incentive covers)
(W) Shane McCarthy (A) Matt Frank (CA) Ray Dillon
The weekly invasion continues: AUTOBOTS vs. DECEPTICONS vs…. MARTIANS?! The invaders from Mars take advantage of the colossal Cybertronian’s conflict and begin their assault on Earth in full force. It’s Martian vs. Machine as the audacious Autobots and the devilish Decepticons begrudgingly join forces to repel the inhuman invaders and save the planet!
(W) Simon Furman (A) Andrew Wildman, Stephen Baskerville (CA) Andrew Wildman
The TRANSFORMERS comic that began it all-is back. With a vengeance! 21 years have passed since CYBERTRON was restored to its former glory, and finally there is peace. But, after millions of years of bitter civil war, can all ever truly be one?
TRANFORMERS CANDY TIN 12CT DISP
There’s more than meets the eye to this Transformers tin – inside, there are candies that will satisfy your cravings for a sugar rush! Choose from tins that recreate the Autobot or Decepticons logos.

Yeah, this.
LOLS.
Hadn't thought of that:
Omnius
Arse-biscuits. My local Forbidden Planet didn't even get #12 in (Comixology ftw).
Chris McFeely
I don't want to panic you guys or nothin', but I think it could be February before we see MTMTE.
It's a five-part story, so it'll collect that. Four trades of five, is my bet, overall.
LegendAntihero
Since Regeneration One is suppose to be 20 issues, I bet the trade will collect less than 6.
IaconStargazer
I'll be getting the Mars Attacks one-shot – I've read the Popeye and KISS ones, and they're goofy fun. (I also got the Real Ghostbusters issue today, but I haven't read it yet.)
Plainsjumper
Mars Attacks the Transformers?
Yea ok, Blaster and Soundwave team up and make all their heads explode.
No wonder it's a one-issue special.
YoungPrime
Just what feared would happen MTMTE not shipping till the 30th and what's up with "Monstrosity"? This was suppose to be the follow up to Autocracy which could've held me over a little if it released next week.
Oh well guess I wont need to take any trips to my local comicbook store for a couple of weeks then.
Sockie
Not like it really matters now. You'll still have to wait the same amount of time between issues.
Airspeed
Are MTMTE and RID ever going to switch release dates back?. I remember after issue 6 it changed from MTMTE usually coming out first to RID.
Yggdrasil
Nope nothing I give a fuck about.
Wake me up when we get MTMTE.
gothsaurus
Happy Birthday, Omnius!
But yeah. With this as a one-off, I think I'm totally going to bite. The cover is worth it alone. Unless the interior art and/or story is just DREADFUL, I'm going to totally pick this up.
SenatorRatbat
No MTMTE? Aren't the issues usually out on the twentysomething of that month?
Mechafire
brb flipping a table over
Wadeledge
N-n-no MTMTE until Jan 30? :'(
Mechafire
This, goddammit. I want my MTMTE, not this stupid Mars Attacks stuff.
jasonw
Quite like Shane's stuff.
He got an unnecessarily hard time over AHM, which was pretty decent IMHO.
Anyone who enjoyed John Barber's excellent Soptlight Thundercracker today would do well to remember the root of Thundercracker's current character path.
Speaking of which, I could go for a Thundercracker mini series right now.
Reluctantly defending Earth from an alien invasion or something. Could be awesome…
Kilowog
Martians are dicks who hate you
shroobmaster
Hey this should be fun-
>SHANE MC CARTHY
lol nope
Omnius
No birthday present in the form of MTMTE? Nuts to that. (seriously, Mars Attacks? Why?)
