Transformers: Megatron Origin; written by Eric Holmes with art by Alex Milne
One thing to come out of the upcoming Transformers movie directed by Michael Bay is all the left over shards of metal from the faces and chassis - that's odd looking for a plural - from the look and style of the Transformers of the cartoon and comics. They sure do look different to their counterparts, ever so drastically. Ah, but an Autobot or Decepticon will leak motor fluid all the same no matter what the plastic surgeon will have them think of the mirror.
Before allegiance, rank and function—before war—a civilian will become a warrior, a warrior will become a leader. As a leader he will learn of the most powerful weapon on the planet—a weapon powerful enough to bind legions to his will—a faction named DECEPTICON.
This landmark story brings the major players of the faction together for the first time in a seminal story for MEGATRON, the DECEPTICONS, and THE GREAT WAR.

Loosen the britches on the pants of justice and it's about 30 creators gone nuts and garlic on
The Tick's 20th Anniversary Special Edition. And in that cadre is creator Ben Edlund himself in the blue juice where the mayhem is about the big blue one gone through various eyes.
Paul Dini and Kenneth Rocafort escort
Madame Mirage thought a killer party. Or is that a party with a killer? Well, it certainly don't have The Killers at the party. Party on, Wayne!
Brian Lynch and Franco Urru rub the vampiric felt of muppet land in
Spike: Shadow Puppets. Four padded walls and William the Bloody is super fuzzy in his puppet incarnation. But how about his poetry? As cuddly?
Ben Avery and Mike S. Miller adapt George R.R. Martin's
Hedge Knight: Sworn Sword. Following up from the first, it's like the flavour of the sensation as the sequels aren't all out there on the big movie screens. Six slices of the fantasy pie.
The Old Witch is back for more
Tales from the Crypt. Rob Vollmar, Marc Bilgrey, Jim Salicrup, Tim Smith III, Mr. Exes and Rick Parker bring the corpses back after 50 years and the rotting flesh is just slopping on the counter top. Smell it.
Marc Bernadin, Adam Freeman and Lee Garbett shoot the long lead of five chambers with the
Highwaymen. Special ops, clean up crews, and a whole lot of mess that needs some hearty and covert scrubbing to swipe clean.
Rick Spears and Rob G snatch the blank bank with a first of five as they go
Repo. Find the clone, snatch the clone, should be easy right? Like eating passionfruit without peeling it.
Fred Van Lente and Scott Koblish unleash
The Weapon. Money makes a man create things out of thin air and an ancient society sniffs out the rival competition, looking to douse it by the end of the four. Fear the chilblains!
