IDW returns to the Movie Universe with a prequel comic to the upcoming Bumblebeee movie, to be released really early, in June. (I guess it might have been planned and scheduled for the original release of the movie in that month)

Just be aware that the following synopsis could be a spoiler for the Movie itself, if this has any bearing on the type of story we will see on-screen... or it could be completely unrelated, with maybe a few tiny Easter Eggs thrown in that aren't vital for the Movie itself (so that you won't need to read this to watch the movie, and therefore, won't have anything too major to spoil the movie six months later).

It says issue one, so will probably be four issues... but could be six if they are wanting to have it released monthly and have it conclude just as the Movie is being released.

Synopsis:
“Some call him Goldfender, but the name’s Bee… Bumblebee. On loan to MI6 and teamed with a human partner, Bee’s trapped in the middle of a Cold War plot to disrupt British Secret Intelligence. But when things go wrong, it’s up to Bee to discover if there’s a traitor in their midst. In the spy world, allegiances can change just as easily as a Transformer.
Bullet points:

  • The prequel to the new Bumblebee film (coming this winter), geared towards a younger audience!
  • From the classic Transformers: Robots in Disguise team of John Barber and Andrew Griffith!
  • The perfect sometimes serious, sometimes campy action spy adventure for fans of James Bond, the Avengers TV show, or Mission Impossible!
