IDW Publishing's All Hail Megatron #1 Retailer Exclusive Cover

http://ryalltime.blogspot.com/2008/05/swipe-file.html

Exclusive to Apocalypse Comics in the UK, looks good and a fun homage.

"smile prime for this is the last day you will function!!!! ahahahaaahahahhaaaaa"

is up with this cover its scarey

Love the look on Megatron's face. Casey won the IDW cover contest, right? Great art.

Want!

That. Is. .

Damn it for being an exclusive to a store I've never heard of. I'd buy that version, hands-down, if it were one of the standard options. But since I'd have to chase it down and shell out $10+ as an obscure exclusive, I doubt I'll bother.

wow that pic looks similiar to the old batman's arc "the killing joke".

NO WAI.


Wonder if that had anything to do with the thread title.

I hope that's in the TPB. I want to show my DC Comics fanboy buddy of mine.

My god that's so cool

Same here.

That is absolutely fantastic

i need that...somehow i will get it... my love of transformers and my love of batman, all combined...

I knew nothing about this "A Killing Joke" homage, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

Excuse me, but is that camera...........Reflector?

An homage very well done!

I hope they eventually release that cover to the general public somewhere along the way 'cause I'd love to have that as part of my collection.

Loved the original Killing Joke story also, BTW

I want one!!!

Why are the actual comics inside never as cool as all of the stylish/funny/joke/homage art, promotions, and covers they do??

That is such an evil cover. Must get!

Cos its easier to make a good coverr for anything that actual deliver something w/ substance?

It's intentional. You're suppose to be scared of him.

Colored poster please.

I want a poster of that!!!

Ow, awesome cover! XD
It's nice to see Casey work!

Hands down the best IDW Transformer cover to date. Shame it's an exclusive to a store that probably won't ship overseas.

thats cool. just needs a hawaiian shirt and a straw hat.

...dya think hes shooting pics of a arcee in place of barbara? O.o

so then commissioner alpha trion freaks out and batmanus prime comes in to SAF TEH DAI!

You betcha!

Hey Guys,

My name is Mario and I co-own ApocalypseComics.com in the UK.
Chris told me there was a buzz on the Forums after posting his blog and I just wanted to say a big Thank You to everyone for all of your positive comments!!!
Casey is an incredible talent and it is an Honour for us to be the first Retailer to showcase that talent. He has an Amazing future ahead of him in the comic biz!!!!
Oh, and for those of you living outside of the UK, we do ship worldwide and we will not be charging an extortionate price for the book itself (less than £1 more than we would charge for the regular cover).
I can't wait till you see the finished Color version!!!!

Mario
p.s. Remember to check out our Exclusive Reign of Starscream cover this week!!!!

Well, maybe you can tell us, then. Is there going to be a poster? I'd love to see that on my wall.

No. It will be limited to a comic cover only. Though you are right, it would make an Amazing poster.
Also, because I forgot to metion in my previous post, both the Megatron and the Starscream covers will be limited to only 1000 copies worldwide.

Hey everyone... this is Casey. Thanks for all of your kind words. I'm really getting a big kick out of the reaction this cover is getting. It was really a lucky break for me that I got to play with such an iconic image as Bolland's Killing Joke cover.

I hope to do more soon. I'm really glad you all like it... and wait 'till you see Josh's colors on it!

Awesome work man.

If the image can evoke the reaction you wanted from your audience (being creepy scary), that tells you how good it really is.
