- Not to talk about metaphysics in the Transformers mythos, but something
- else...
-
- I was flipping through an issue of MARVEL AGE the other day, scanning an
- article on life in the G.I. JOE comic. My memory is a little fuzzy (someone
- who actually owns the issue want to back me up on this?), but I do believe I
- read...
-
- 1. The JOE comic is not biting the dust.
- 2. There is an upcoming reprint of the G.I. JOE vs. TRANSFORMERS limited
- series. Bleagh. No Andrew Wildman art, no Larry Hama or Simon Furman
- writing. Probably avoid this (okay, the new covers will be by Wildman,
- but that's it).
- 3. Marvel will do a new, "more contemporary", "grittier" version of the
- TRANSFORMERS comic, as a limited series, tying in to unspecified
- Transformer stuff from Hasbro. If it sells well, a new regular series
- may be in the works. This part of my memory is VERY fuzzy, but you get the
- general gist...
-
- No word about any sort of new animated series, but then we're talking about
- comic books here, not rec.arts.movies...
