July brings us two more issues of the Transformers ongoing – issue 9 and issue 10 – including the arrival of this new timeline’s version of Sentinel Prime, as well as issue 2 of Transformers vs Ghostbusters which is set to introduce Ectotron (the cover also has a very cool piece of art showing Starscream’s Ghost replacing the ghost in the Ghostbusters logo – print please?)

Transformers, Vol. 1: The World in Your Eyes—GEM OF THE MONTH

Brian Ruckley (w) • Angel Hernandez, Cachét Whitman & Beth McGuire-Smith (a) • Casey W. Coller (c)

In the infinite universe, there exists no other planet like Cybertron. Home to the TRANSFORMERS bots, and a thriving hub for interstellar commerce, it is a world brimming with organic and constructed diversity. Immense structures line its landscapes. Mechanical giants roam across its surface. Ancient Cybertronians merge into its very fabric. Small, mysterious creatures skulk in its shadows. It is a truly amazing realm, long untouched by war, and exuberantly reaching for the stars. This is the Cybertron that Orion Pax and Megatron compete for in this bold new origin—a world of seemingly endless peace.

All that changes when Bumblebee and Windblade take a newly-forged Cybertronian on his first voyage through this world of wonders, only to discover the first murder to occur on Cybertron in living memory! Soon, they’ll face the hard reality that the planet is on the brink of an unprecedented shift, and nothing will ever be the same. Collects issues #1-12 of IDW’s new Transformers saga.
