It ’s a good weekend forSimon Furman . Not only didIDW announce his prequel to the original 1980sTransformerscomic book , for which he publish so much , but we also get a trailer to his fresh comic withTransformers ' stable - teammate , Geoff Senior .
Also the word thatTo The Deathwill not be distruibuted to amusing book computer storage via Diamond Comic Distributors , as might be more usual , but through a new comic book shop dispersion organisation .
To The Deathis a ten - offspring series , from the writer and artist who work you the decentTransformerscomics in the eighties , and who createdDeath ’s Headand my own personal favouriteDragon ’s Claws .
The comicTo The Deathsees career soldier Aleksy Dryagin returns from off - world warfare to come up that position down his guns and picking up where he pull up stakes off with his wife and young boy is not an option . rather , he ’s marked for death , the instrument in a index conflict between the omnipotent Tri - Corp and subversive organisation White Noise . But Dryagin is no one ’s pawn . You pick a fighting with Dryagin … It ’s To The demise . inhabit with colourful characters – such as evolved fish - man Killatoa , The Triumvirate , and Dryagin ’s crack Scourge platoon of ' Pacifiers ' , To The Death is widescreen kinetic activeness all the fashion , building to a truly Earth - shatter ending .
I know , I have a copy of the first issue . It is off the chart .
Furman and Senior are also bang for the like ofAlpha Flight , Annihilation : Ronan , Battletide , She - Hulk , TerminatorandRobotech . for Marvel , Titan , IDW , Dreamwave and more . They also have wide experience in idiot box , moving picture and animation . So for their payoff to comic books together , they distinctly want to try doing things a unlike mode . And forTo The Death , they are stepping alfresco of the usual style of doing business .
With issue pardner Comic Toolbox , a new indie comics portal , Furman and Senior are found a dedicated online local store statistical distribution avail , with direct ordering for comical leger depot nationwide . Comic Toolbox ’s indie vena portae is tailor-make specifically to save God Almighty - owned title of respect like a shot to the consumer smoothly via participating comic book shops – or direct , if none are available . And sidestepping Diamond Comic Distributors , which is the comic storehouse distributor for 99 % of individual consequence comic books . possibly they will have a few others unite them before long ?
The prequel storyTo The Death , form by Fire , appeared in The Great Big Comic Scene Annual and that a standalone version will be available to contributor and at convention .
The prescribed comic book launch will be at MCM London Comic Con in May .
More when we have it …
