Jorge Corona Joins Daniel Warren Johnson On ‘Transformers’ #7
by Olly MacNamee
Writing and drawing a comic book can be tough work. But whether or not that’s the reason we’re getting Jorge Corona (Middlewest)on Transformers to illustrate the second story arc is neither here or there. The big news is we’re getting on of Image Comics’ top tier artists on one of its best selling titles. And it all starts in Transformers #7, out on April 10, 2024 from Skybound/Image Comics.
Speaking about this new signing, Daniel Warren Johnson said:
“It’s a rare breed of artist that can naturally bring an organic quality to things that are inherently mechanical, and Jorge is one of those chosen few. Prepare your eyes for a feast of brawn and beauty, my friends. This man draws a mean looking Soundwave. KA BAM!”
Jorge Corona added”
“It started with a ‘Do you want to work on a book with Daniel Warren Johnson?’ and just in case that wasn’t a deafening ‘YES,’ they added: ‘It’s for the TRANSFORMERS book.’ Growing up with TRANSFORMERS and its many iterations expanded in many ways what a cartoon could do for me. Even though it had the classic good vs. evil premise, it also added malleability to what the characters could do in that world. Betrayals, regrets, self-doubts, were all emotions that drove these characters and it added a complexity that I wasn’t familiar with in other shows. Fast forward to 30 years later and here I am seeing Daniel’s take on the franchise, rooted in his love for the original Generation One version, and it’s like reliving those childhood memories multiplied by a thousand. I am very honored and humbled to be a part of this project and cannot wait to share all of the craziness that’s coming up in the book.”
