Simon Furman has updated his
blog revealing that he shall be putting pen to paper for the Transformers Animated UK comic strip. Mr Furman reveals that although he won't write every story he will write the first, and the occasional story.
Been delving deeply into Transformers Animated (the new cartoon series)
recently, watching a whole bunch of episodes (which I enjoyed greatly).
Why? Well, the news has already broken that Titan (who already do the
four-weekly UK Transformers comic) are bringing out a companion
publication: Transformers Animated (UK) later this year. And I’m going
to be doing some of the fully-originated lead strips. Not all, by any
means, but a few here and there, kicking with issue #1’s story
“Swiped!”. No details at the moment, I’ll save that for a Script (W)rap
down the line, but suffice it to say that it kicks off a whole year’s
worth of TFA-UK goodness, self-contained but with that all-important
arc as well, and introduces an all-new character. News on the artist
for that one real soon, but I can tell you it’ll be a crowd-pleaser!
And, the other bit of juicy TFA new I can share is that the
bumper-sized October issue #17 (of TF-UK) features a bonus 6-page
UK-original TFA story, written by me, featuring none other than the
Dinobots! Well, I just HAD to write that one! Right, off to watch some
more episodes. Definitely the best TF series since Beast Wars, IMO
