JUNE 2022 Transformers comics and books

[griffin]

Out this week is issue 2 of the Last Bot Standing.


With only six months left for IDW, I would have expected some official announcements of the new license-holders by now... if they were planning to start releasing comics straight away in January, they would already be planning out story ideas and writing the stories for the first issues to be drawn and printed.

You're assuming there is a new license holder?

While Hasbro decided their future isn't with IDW, I haven't seen any confirmation of a new publisher? Quietly I'm hoping for some kind of split deal, or at least, less exclusive. Boom studios would be my first pick with Dark Horse doing some collection stuff. Their work with MOTU has been amazing.

True... but with SDCC just a couple weeks away, that is usually where something like that would be announced, as it has the most regular media exposure.
If nothing is mentioned at SDCC next month, then I guess they don't have a new license holder taking over straight away.


Out this week is the final issue of IDW's Beast Wars comic.

Out at the end of June was the "Fate of Cybertron" comic, which appears to be a one-shot finale to the 2019 comic series (noted as Transformers Special in the first post).
