TRANSFORMERS #1 CVR A Johnson
(W) Daniel Warren Johnson (A) Daniel Warren Johnson
Transformers #1 begins an all-new era for the iconic robots in disguise from superstar creator Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb,DC’s Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater). 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. And humanity’s only hope of survival is Optimus Prime.

Joe and Cobra in a world grappling with the arrival of the Autobots and Decepticons. When Conrad S. Hauser (codename DUKE) investigates the mysteries behind The Transformers, the answers will lead to the birth of forces for good and evil that the world never imagined.

Interesting. Didn't Hama say DDP (which started with Image) isn't canon?
To clarify, think Halloween movies;Hama overwrote the earlier sequel with his Boom series.
Besides, we're living in a world of cinematic multiverses... Maybe this is just Joe-Earth 616

I was taking the scenic route on non/canon to say it'll be interesting to see if Image re-releases some of the "other" Joe issues or gets to re-release the original Marvel run as IDW did. It'd be nice to fill in the gaps in my collection without paying absurd amounts of money for it.
ahh, interesting.
well I for one was pretty happy with IDW... the Hama stuff was fun. some of the Joe stuff was brilliant (like COBRA), other was lame and I bought it just for the covers, others were 'meh'. The Tom Scioli GI Joe Transformers was my Official Favorite Thing Ever. And the Transformers titles were wonderful until they rebooted for the last time, then got boring.
i dont know if Im in the market to restart again! But, will give it a whirl. Kirkman is pretty hit-or-miss for me.
Makes sense: there was never really another publisher rumored to be interested in the licenses, and Robert Kirkman likes doing big surprises. I assume there'll be an official announcement on Thursday with more details on Skybound's publishing plans.
