Two iconic franchises combine for one hell of a mini-series that is sure to leave its mark. IDW has made nerd dreams come true with Transformers vs. The Terminator, debuting in the Spring of 2020!
Along with Dark Horse Comics, the four-issue series will see the creative team of David Mariotte, John Barber and Tom Waltz, with art by Alex Milne (Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye). Being described as an “epic crossover that revisits the concepts of alien invasion and time-traveling resistance fighters…but twists them in unexpected ways.”
John Barber (IDW’s editor in chief) stated, “I still remember the visceral thrill and terror of my first viewing of The Terminator, and while I’ve seen it a hundred times since then, it still gets my pulse running. I’ve worked on Transformers a lot over the years, and the opportunity to combine these two mechanistic universes together to see who comes out on top (while working alongside Tom, David and my old collaborator Alex, no less) — well, it’s way too exciting a chance to pass up.”
In true IDW fashion, issue #1 will see multiple editions and covers by Gavin Fullerton and Milne, as well as two retailer incentive limited-edition covers by Freddie E. Williams II (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Francesco Francavilla (Star Wars Adventures, Afterlife with Archie), respectively. (Fullerton and Williams’ covers can be seen below.)
