In comics news from IDW Publishing, we have a quick iTunes preview of next week's release in Transformers comics, with the third issue of the four-issue prequel mini-series to the Bumblebee Movie due this December - From Cybertron With Love - by John Barber, Andrew Griffith, and Priscilla Tramontano!

Energon is Forever can be seen in the images below, and we get the first (chronological, at least) appearance of jet Blitzwing, plus more wordplay, references and acronyms than a single news post can handle. Check it out, and let us know what you think!

Description

Energon is Forever. It's war in the streets of swinging 1960s London, baby—and it’s freaking Bumblebee out! The Decepticon scheme to lure the world's top espionage organizations into war shifts into high gear—so Bee and his super-spy friends call in some international help!

So blitzwing is a triple changer in the comics at least...everyone looks like they are having a lot of fun making this series.

I'm glad we are getting Blitzwing introduced here, actually! It clarifies more about why he's the one we see in the movie (though clashes with the alleged Cybertron opening).

I was wondering about that myself, the weird thing is that this series could easily work with the previous films. I have to wonder why there's a disconnect between this and how the Bee movie opens...unless this prequel ends with bee back in cybertron to set up the movie.

Blitzwing should be grateful that prime isn't there ;-)

otherwise he would have lost his head/face already.

i still find it extremely jarring to see bumblebee with a human like face and talking. Like my brain can't seem to accept that's the same character I've watched in movies the past decade and have multiple toys of.

I have a feeling that in the final issue, he won't be looking the same ;-)

maybe but it kinda bugs me that they've even done that to him to begin with.

Directly from the direct market source of Previews World, we have two new covers for the next issue of the miniseries introducing the new, upcoming live action movie Transformers Bumblebee - both by Andrew Griffith, as they are the same art with and without colours as the A cover and the incentive cover for issue #4!

Take a look below, with a reminder of the blurb, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

In 1960s England, Bumblebee and his super-spy allies infiltrate the Decepticons' clandestine island headquarters. Is it a trap? Of course it's a trap. But in the high-stakes game of counterintelligence, who's trapping who?
