Posted on May 18, 2010 at 1:30 am by Sol Fury under Video Games

Australian store JBHiFi has today announced what is so far a unique preorder incentive for Transformers War for Cybertron – a tie-in comic book from IDW Publishing. Not many details are given for the comic, other than the fact it is 16 pages long and is being offered through JBHiFi as a bonus for preordering any copy of War for Cybertron.

Stay tuned for more information on this comic cross promotion as it becomes available.

Sounds like it would be great to have to go along with the game..or stand alone if you're not a gamer

Depending on how good the story is in the game, this might be the start of something really cool.

Might have figured they'd make a comic adaptation. The cover looks pretty cool.

I don't know if someone posted that here already, but just in case…:

Hey, guys, I have to say, this is a REALLY good comic. I was thrilled with the way it turned out. Alex Irvine who wrote the new TF novel EXODUS did the script and Don Fig on art.

It's excellent.

Cool, a WFC comic series!

Not even sure I'll want this but I have to take a stand and say I HATE HATE HATE HATE DIFFERENT EXCLUSIVE CONTENT OFFERED BY DIFFERENT RETAILERS. It's even gotten to the point where Walmart and Best Buy are offering different versions of movies! Throw it in as a retailer exclusive for a certain period of time – but then they should make this comic (and all the downloadable characters) available to the masses.

As far as I know this is the first pre-order anywhere in the world that provides a comic

Not even close. While not common, it has happened in the past. Hell, just recently with Mass Effect 2.

it is rare for it to be a full size comic, but again. it does happen.

Interesting

looks like a Marcelo Matere cover there

dont think it makes any mention of an interior artist

Who did the art on this book?

I bet anyone that the novel coming out is going to have discrepancies with the game and that this comic will fit better. Just like how it always is with the movie stuff!

Unless Alan Dean Foster writes a book, it may be decent. If he writes it then prepare yourself for a heaping pile of shit.

I knew it! I knew IDW was going to put out a book. I bet anyone that the novel coming out is going to have discrepancies with the game and that this comic will fit better. Just like how it always is with the movie stuff! For Optimus to become a Prime in the book and in the game always sounded fishy to me.

This book looks cool though!
