IDW PUBLISHING'S BUMBLEBEE OGN

IDW Publishing has announced a Sept. 11 release for Transformers: Bumblebee -- Win If You Dare, an original graphic novel from writers Chad Bowers and Chris Sims and artist Marcelo Ferreira.

Here's how IDW describes the book:

"When his best friend is hurt, Bumblebee takes it upon himself to finish the mission -- and prove his worth to his fellow Autobots along the way. Things get tense as Bumblebee and a new human friend infiltrate a series of incredible races, hunting down dangerous foes and a devastating secret. It's an exciting new, action-packed '80s adventure!"

"The exciting thing about this book is that it really hits all the highs of Transformers for fans new and old," said editor David Mariotte. "It has action, adventure, racing and robots, but it also has a lot of heart and humor that comes through in this simultaneously retro and very modern package."

The book will cost $9.99.



TITAN COMICS' YEAR OF TANK GIRL

Titan Comics has announced 2018 as its "Year of Tank Girl," commemorating 30 years of the character.

Included in the celebration are:

* Tank Girl: Full Color Classics 1988-1989 -- the first of six prestige editions presenting those original seminal strips from Deadline in color -- in April.

* The Way Of Tank Girl, a hardcover. Original creators Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett, with artists Brett Parson and Ashley Wood, bring together a collection of strips, poems, covers and extracts from Tank Girl's 30-year career.

* A Tank Girl FCBD edition on Free Comic Book Day on Saturday May 5. Entitled A Brief History of Tank Girl, this special comic features tales from Tank Girl's past and features a cover by Hewlitt.

* A new series, Tank Girl All Stars, in June. Artists such as Brett Parson, Chris Wahl, Ashley Wood, Philip Bond, Jim Mahfood and Mick McMahon return to the character.

* June also sees the 2017 series The Wonderful World Of Tank Girl hit stores in collection format. It features four stand-alone stories starring Tank Girl and her supporting cast, including: "Tank Girl Strikes Again," "The Man from Tank Girl," "The Importance of Being Tank Girl" and "Tank Girl Takes a Trip."

* In August, The Legend Of Tank Girl -- an all-new, bumper collection -- hits stores. The edition features the madcap adventures of Alan Martin and Brett Parson's best-selling, 2017 graphic novel trilogy; Two Girls One Tank, Tank Girl Gold and World War Tank Girl. The collection is packed with dozens of guest artist covers, previously unseen artwork, and character and vehicle sketches.

* Oct. 9 sees the release of Tank Girl Coloring Book, followed by The Tank Girl All Stars hardcover collection on Oct. 16, and the launch of a new Tank Girl comic series from Alan Martin on Oct. 17 and Tank Girl Day on Oct. 20.



BRIEFLY

OVER THE GARDEN WALL: BOOM! Studios has announced a November release for Over The Garden Wall: Distillatoria, an original graphic novel from writer Jonathan Case and artist Jim Campbell.

Here's how BOOM! describes the book:

"While exploring the Unknown, Greg and Wirt suddenly find themselves back home -- only it looks like they brought Beatrice back with them?! Now, it's up to them to help Beatrice return safely to the Unknown before anyone realizes she can talk. But it looks like something sinister might be happening in the shadows and everything might not be as it seems. It's a mad dash filled with friendship, love, Sara, and learning that home might be a lot further away than you think."

"As a borderline-scary fan of Over the Garden Wall, I'm excited to find myself at the helm of a new adventure for Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice. Really, really excited, you guys," Case said. "With Distillatoria, we'll revisit some familiar and beloved bits: the Unknown, the Wirt-poems, the rock facts...but we'll also explore new and (I hope) surprising territory. I dearly hope this new book is a good time for all my fellow old souls and romantic weirdos. And of course, all the lovers of Greg."

VALIANT FIRST LOOKS: For cover and six-page preview of X-O Manowar #12, arriving in stores on Wednesday, Feb. 28 from Valiant Entertainment, CLICK HERE.
