James Roberts Drops Teasers More Than Meets the Eye #15

The uncomparable scribe of IDW's Transformers More Than Meets the Eye has posted on the IDW publishing forums. In this post he teases a few things regarding next weeks issue of More Than Meets The Eye in which we'll get to see the crew of the Lost Light go head to head with Overlord. If you're familiar with IDW's version of Overlord, you know that what's in store for next will not be pretty. James has provided youtube links to a few songs he's had in mind for the issue for fans to digest or serve as a soundtrack if they choose. Some of the song titles themselves may be considered spoilers themselves, so please proceed with caution!

James has provided the following bits for fans to drool over in anticipation though:

Here is this months dialogue snippet: "I really don't know if I can forgive you for this."

One last thing: I plan MTMTE out very carefully, and have done since the start. You know, grand plans and all that. In this issue, for the first time, and in connection with a certain character, I changed the grand plan. When the dust settles, and assuming you're still talking to me, and assuming people want to know, I'll spill the beans.

See you next month for the aftermath.

What? MTMTE #15 is out next Wednesday, you say? Really? Well I never. It seems like only a fortnight ago I was trying to whet your appetite with regards to issue #14.

As most of us know, the new issue contains a story called "Under Cold Blue Stars", which is lifted from a Josh Rouse song. The song's really nice, but has nothing to do with the contents of the issue beyond the fact that, y'know, the battle takes place, um, under some stars.

For a long, long time this story was going to be called "Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken?", after a fantastic song by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, and much as I like the idea of interrogative story titles, it was too meta (and it would have made me sound very presumptuous and you'd have wanted to pelt me with bricks).

"First of the Gang to Die" (a Morrissey song) was another contender. I do come up with my own titles sometimes, you know. Anyway, I've posted a link to the Moz track on my Twitter account and I think it's been added to the ever-expanding MTMTE soundtrack thread.

The two songs I have for this issue are:

This is a cover of great Nick Cave song. I'm posting it because of the heat and passion and anguish, rather than the (phenomenally good) lyrics.

And here's a more traditional rabble-rouser:
