Transformers King Grimlock #1
The new comic will be written by Steve Orlando (Wonder Woman), with art by Agustin Padilla (Dungeons & Dragons), and colors from Jeremy Colwell (The Bequest). The miniseries will combine Transformers and fantasy, following the Dinobot Grimlock in an “epic barbarian fantasy” where the savage world is ruled by who’s strongest with the sword. Check out Cary Nord’s 1A cover (Conan The Barbarian) and Mateus Santolouco’s retailer incentive (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder in Hell) covers for the series below. Padilla will provide the 1B cover for issue one.
“King Grimlock is a sky-high dream come to life, a story so big and wild, I wasn’t sure if the Transformers universe could contain it,” Orlando said in a press release. “This is a first-of-its-kind, science/fantasy epic for fans new and old, whether you follow the animation of the ‘80s, the modern shows of the ‘00s, the big screen blockbusters, the decades of incredible comics, or if you’ve been intrigued by Grimlock action figures on the shelf. Everyone’s welcome!”
