Ancient evils arise in IDW’s new ‘Transformers: War’s End’ comic book miniseries

San Diego-based IDW Publishing has actually been at the cutting edge of “Transformers” tie-in, one-shot, and spinoff comic books starring those sentient robots in disguise given that they initially obtained the licensing rights from Hasbro back in 2005. Ever since, IDW has been the champion of more than 400 “Transformers”- centric problems representing the longest-running period of “Transformers” connection given that the toy line was introduced back in 1984. Sadly, IDW will lose the publishing rights to both “G.I. Joe” and “Transformers” at the conclusion of 2022 after a respectful legacy of stewardship of the pop culture homes. However prior to they pass the torch theyre heading out in high design with the very first of numerous “Transformers” miniseries showing up throughout the year. To kick off the grand finale, “Transformers: Wars End” arrives this month as a dynamic buddy to the publishers continuous flagship “Transformers” series.Cover art for concern among “Transformers: Wars End” from IDW Publishing coming Feb. 23, 2022. (Image credit: IDW Publishing) Written by Brian Ruckley, the creative force behind IDWs regular monthly “Transformers” title, and highlighted by artist Jack Lawrence (” Transformers: Lost Light”), “Transformers: Wars End” is a four-issue restricted series that exposes a scary ancient evil that links past, present, and future.” Wars End is about unfinished company: for both the characters and for Cybertron as an entire,” Ruckley said in a main IDW news release. “Its the return of Cybertrons terrible past to upend its present … and responds to the concern: If your world has at its core the collective Spark of your entire civilization, just how vulnerable might that make you? I enjoy the reality that we will get to act this out with a few of my preferred characters: Cyclonus, Team Stream, Pyra Magna, Geomotus, and Exarchon. They all get to take spotlight, play for the highest of high stakes, and find their fates and their futures.” An alternate cover for concern among “Transformers: Wars End” from IDW Publishing coming Feb. 23, 2022.

Cyclonus, a worthy gladiator still maimed by the trauma of that long-ago battle, look for capable allies in the kind of the Decepticons famous leader, Megatron, who has his own divisive agenda thats currently shattered Cybertron society into diverse obligations.” Up to now, my Transformers work has been post- or pre-war, so with “Wars End,” Im excited to contribute to the Cybertronian war itself,” added Lawrence in the statement. “This story is, naturally, darker and grittier than what Ive worked on in the past, so Im eagerly anticipating going shadowy and ominous with it. Plus, I get to draw characters I have not worked with in a big way– characters Ive liked for more than 35 years. There arent actually words for how incredibly interesting that is!” An alternate cover for concern among “Transformers: Wars End” from IDW Publishing coming Feb. 23, 2022.
