April Transformers Comics and Books

[griffin]

April sees two more issues of the new Transformers comic (two per month, which shouldn't be too hard, since they used to be doing 3-4 per month).
They note that the 3rd issue, at the beginning of April, will be their "35th Anniversary" issue, so Hasbro must have nominated April 1984 as the official beginning to Transformers. (some fans had dubbed May 8th as an unofficial anniversary day for Transformers because it was the earliest verified date that could be found, which was the publication date on the first comic issue that came out before the cartoon and toys)

Details below are from this link, which also has a couple of mirrored cover images.

An interview on the Marvel website also says July for the new Deaths Head comic, so this looks likely to be the correct release date. The interview also has some preview images, which were also mirrored here.
