IDW PUBLISHING'S TRANSFORMERS: GALAXIES

IDW Publishing has announced a September launch for Transformers: Galaxies, which will feature story arcs that delve deeper into the origins, motivations, and machinations of the extended Transformers cast. Galaxies launches with a story arc dedicated to the fan-favorite crew, the Constructicons.

Written by Vox Media co-founder and lifelong Transformers devotee Tyler Bleszinski, with artwork by longtime Transformers artist, Livio Ramondelli, Transformers: Galaxies #1 uncovers the hidden secrets of Cybertrom's vast beauty and extraordinary cityscapes.

Here's how IDW describes the first arc:

"Long ago, after the War Against the Threefold Spark ended, the Constructicons emerged to help rebuild the decimated planet in grand fashion. But what happened to them in the years since? Why had they been erased from Cybertron's history... and what have they been planning for their devastating return?"

"I've dreamed of the day that I could somehow be involved in the Transformers universe," said Bleszinski. "Humanizing the Constructicons in a refreshed origin story with Livio Ramondelli -- one of the most talented Transformers artists ever -- will be one of the highlights of my life and will give me the opportunity to share my passion for these incredible creations with my kids' generation. This is truly a dream come true."

"Transformers: Galaxies delves into what's happening away from Cybertron," said editor David Mariotte. "Tyler and Livio are working on a story about broken promises and lost futures -- about those who fall by the wayside to maintain a utopia."

The first issue features covers by Livio Ramondelli and Nick Roche, and retailer Incentive covers by George Caltsoudas and Casey W. Coller.



KRYPTON: "WILL TO POWER"

Syfy has released images and details from "Will to Power," the episode of Krypton premiering on Wednesday, June 26.
