Transformers swipe file

When ALL HAIL MEGATRON launched a year ago, Apocalypse Comics in the U.K. commissioned an exclusive cover for issue 1. Artist Casey Coller produced the cover, which was inspired by Brian Bolland's BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE.

Now, as the series winds towards its conclusion in issue 12, Apocalypse is offering another exclusive cover, also by Casey. This one is inspired by an even more classic cover, John Romita's iconic image for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 50. No spoiler here, either--the cover is a tribute but doesn't necessarily foreshadow the ending of this series.

It is sad for me to see Megatron like that (it could have been worse, though). But the cover is cool. Simple but very nice.

Huh, not Decepticon insignia on Megs' chest. But maybe I'm reading too much into that after reading AHM #8

Heh, awesome image. I'd read a whole album of Transformerized classic covers.
