Dinobots Debut From IDW

image0061Those loveable Dinobots were fan favourites in the Transformers cartoon in the 80s and hold a dear place in many Transfans’ hearts. Now, IDW, the current publisher of original Transformers comics, including tie-ins to the next live-action movie, are giving them the attention they deserve.

The first issue of Maximum Dinobots is a new-reader friendly 32 pager and will be released on December 10.Written by long-time Transformers scribe, Simon Furman, with art by Nick Roche, the series shows the Dinobots reunion and features the huge bad guy Scorponok, and two Autobots – namely, Hot Rod and Sunstreaker. Cool! That’s a lot of robots in disguise in one issue.

Holidays Go BOOM!

Man, American comic shops are so much cooler than the ones in Oz, especially after checking out these funky LCSs in New York. Like they did last year, publishers BOOM! Studios are throwing a party at Meltdown. Details below.
