Let's start the week off with this retailer-exclusive variant cover for the July-bound TRANSFORMERS: ALL HAIL MEGATRON. I'm sure it's pretty obvious what this is based on but I'll run the original side-by-side with the finished, color version of the cover later this week.



Note: Reflector isn't necessarily a character in ALL HAIL, this is just a fun cover design that the retailer, U.K. comics shop Apocalypse Comics, wanted. So if you want a copy of this cover, you'll have to order it directly from that shop, since they'll be the only one to have it.

Note 2: The art on this cover comes courtesy of an artist new to our TF books: Casey Coller. Casey came to my attention through a fan-run Transformers new-artist contest that ran on our message board recently.

Isn't that Reflector, not Perceptor?

But anyways, that cover does kick ass.

No SMILE word balloon?

Chris Ryall said...

Thanks, Charlie--I fixed that. I was posting too early...

And yeah, Bigbot, the word balloon will be added after it's colors. The logo will be placed in the same spot as the Killing Joke cover, too.

That is beautiful.

Yeah, that may be an extra purchase solely for a cover. Very sweet linework.

Well, most definitely that is awesome AND very cool to see that the Cover Contest is haing actual repercussions.

I won't be getting this cover, mind you, because it'd break the pattern of all the other covers...plus RI covers always cost more...

Oh, and I have no idea what it's based on.

CASEY COLLER FTW!!!

Go go, Casey! :D

It's based on a Batman comic called "The Killer Joke", published in 1987, written by Alan Moore y Brian Bolland. A real classic, and it's awesome to see Megatron playing the Joker in a comic cover. Thumbs up for the homage...

Andy said...

Great looking cover from Casey.

Well, that would be a pity, I would love to see more of them (and I really hope on of the three isn't going to be killed off in Spotlight: Wheelie). Seriously, Reflector was a pretty nice part of the season 1 cast...

And the linework on that cover is great! Congrats on finding yet another talented TF artist! The Killing Megs. Hehe.
