‘Transformers’ #1 Sells Out Before Its Drop Date
by Olly MacNamee
Even before it hits shelves this Wednesday 4th October we get word that Skybound’s Transformers #1 by Daniel Warren Johnson has already sold out! But fear not, as it’s sold out at the distributor level meaning you can still get a copy at your local store. If you’re quick! I expect this one to shoot off the shelves quicker than Optimus Prime can transform.
“TRANSFORMERS #1 begins a brand-new era for the iconic TRANSFORMERS franchise from Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb, DC’s Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater, Murder Falcon). Optimus Prime was supposed to have led the Autobots to victory. Instead, the fate of Cybertron is unknown, and his allies have crash-landed far from home, alongside their enemies—the Decepticons. As these titanic forces renew their war on Earth, one thing is immediately clear: the planet will never be the same. New alliances are struck. Battle lines are redrawn. Humanity’s only hope for survival is Optimus Prime and the Autobots.”
The second printing will come with five new variant covers:
- Covers A & B, drawn by Jason Howard, spotlight the iconic Optimus Prime and Starscream respectively.
- Covers C & D, drawn by Lewis LaRosa, respectively feature Johnson’s Autobot and Decepticon teams.
- A special spoiler Cover E, drawn by Greg Tocchini.
