Skybound Comet, Image Comics and Hasbro continue to publish comics and graphic novels featuring Hasbro’s popular Transformers range of characters, aimed at all-ages of readers with Transformers: Worst Bot Ever -– Bot Swap!, the latest graphic novel for Middle Grade readers. Written by Brian “Smitty” Smith and illustrated by artist Marz Jr., this sequel comes out this Summer in comic book stores and booksellers.
“As Ballpoint struggles to fit in with his new Autobot friends, a mishap with an experimental weapon causes him to swap bodies with the most feared Decepticon of them all — Megatron! Will Ballpoint’s newfound size and strength finally garner him the acceptance he desires? Maybe! Will the mighty Megatron really accept being placed in the itty-bitty body of the Worst Bot Ever? Of course not!”
Smith stated:
“I’m absolutely thrilled to bring more Ballpoint to both longtime and new Transformers fans. This book has something for everyone, even if you hate pens!”
Artist Marz Jr. added:
“So excited to be drawing the lovable, little rascal again! Is bigger always better? You never know until you walk a mile in another Transformers bot’s mechanical leg!”
