IDW Announces Post-Revolution Debuts!

San Diego, CA (July 21, 2016) – This September, the 5-part bi-weekly REVOLUTIONwill forever impact the future of Transformers, G.I. Joe, ROM, Micronauts, Action Man, and M.A.S.K.: Mobile Armored Strike Kommand, establishing a cohesive comic book universe for all these characters and titles. Spinning out of those universe-defining events, multiple exciting new Hasbro-licensed titles will follow shortly thereafter to pick up the story where Revolution leaves off.

IDW’s Transformers line will see some changes with the introduction of two new ongoing titles:

TRANSFORMERS: LOST LIGHT

Transformers: Lost Light takes the place of More than Meets the Eye, and will continue the fan-favorite adventures told by writer James Roberts. Alex Milne, is joined on art by Jack Lawrence (Doctor Who Adventures), each on alternating arcs. Beginning in December, this new series will take Rodimus and the crew of the starship Lost Light into the farthest reaches of the universe, searching for the long-lost Knights of Cybertron.

OPTIMUS PRIME

John Barber, who recently exited his post as IDW’s Hasbro Group Editor, won’t be straying too far from his IDW roots as he tackles Optimus Prime, the first solo series to star the eponymous Autobot, replacing the former Transformers: Robots in Disguise. John will be joined by artist Kei Zama (Scarlet Witch). Optimus Prime has declared Earth to be under his protection—and this November, he’ll have to face the consequences.

These titles will join the currently running Transformers: Till All Are One,  which will continue on.
