Exclusive Transformers King Grimlock Revealed Among New Comic Series

Get ready for more Transformers great comics. IDW has revealed their next slate of comics for later in the summer, which will be led by a brand new Transformers: King Grimlock miniseries that brings together Transformers and the world of swords and magic. IDW also revealed details on a new Transformers Shattered Glass miniseries, as well as plans for the monthly series Transformers and Transformers: Beast Wars.

Transformers is an iconic Hasbro property that’s one of the biggest pop culture franchises on the planet. Originally launched in 1984 with a classic toyline, Transformers has transformed (pardon the pun) into a media giant with cartoons, toys, live-action movies, comics, and more – with many spinoffs over the last 25+ years. Since 2005, IDW has published Transformers-related stories, including the critically acclaimed Transformers: Lost Light by James Roberts and more recently, Transformers: Beast Wars from Erik Burnham, Josh Burcham, and Jake M. Wood.

Screen Rant has exclusively learned details of a new miniseries from IDW’s upcoming line of comics called Transformers: King Grimlock. The new comic will be written by Steve Orlando (Wonder Woman), with art by Agustin Padilla (Dungeons & Dragons), and colors from Jeremy Colwell (The Bequest). The miniseries will combine Transformers and fantasy, following the Dinobot Grimlock in an “epic barbarian fantasy” where the savage world is ruled by who’s strongest with the sword. Check out Cary Nord’s 1A cover (Conan The Barbarian) and Mateus Santolouco’s retailer incentive (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder in Hell) covers for the series below. Padilla will provide the 1B cover for issue one.

Transformers: Shattered Glass #1 will feature three covers, including Cover 1A by Alex Milne (Transformers vs. Terminator), Cover 1B by Khanna, and a retailer incentive variant by Sara Pitre-Durocher (Transformers: Till All Are One).
