Transformers Spotlight: Hardhead
Simon Furman (w) • Robby Musso (a) • E.J. Su, Nick Roche (c)

The Revelations Cycle continues here! This time, the spotlight falls on the AUTOBOTS’ thick-skinned, no-nonsense “problem-solver,” HARDHEAD! As the Expansion draws ever closer, NIGHTBEAT seeks to solve the mystery of his own missing memories, and he needs Hardhead’s help. But as they retrace NIGHTBEAT’s last steps on Gorlam Prime, HARDHEAD is forced into the worst kind of no-win situation—and one that neither of them are likely survive! By veteran Transformers scribe Simon Furman and new rising star Transformers artist Robby Musso!

At last accessible for a U.S. audience, these stories-within-the-stories further expand upon the new movie universe, going beyond even what was seen in the IDW Prequel!

The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #1
Shane McCarthy (w) • Guido Guidi (a) • Klaus Scherwinski, Trevor Hutchinson (c)

The DECEPTICONS have won, the AUTOBOTS are defeated, and the time for conquest is at hand! Or is it? This all-new series written by Shane McCarthy and featuring art by Guido Guidi picks up one year after the Revelations saga, and finds the DECEPTICONS alone and triumphant on Earth, with not an AUTOBOT in sight. With no one to stand in their way, how will the planet survive? And what of the missing AUTOBOTS? The biggest, most epic TRANSFORMERS storyline ever starts here! Klaus Scherwinski presents a shocking cover image, and Trevor Hutchinson offers an equally striking variant image.

Sweet! July can't come fast enough. I'm looking forward to Revelations the most, but more Reign of Starscream and AHM are also making me wish I had a time machine!

Classic Vol. 1 was such great value, I've had to preorder Vol. 2 as well. Looks like it will probably have a couple "summary" issues to cut out Circuit Breaker (again). Still, to get 12 full issues reprinted for 13.59 (Amazon price) is quite something. Not to mention the quality of the print and the cleaning up of the old issues. They look better than the originals at this point, and better than the two Titan reprints I have (of G2 material). Better quality paper.
