Chris Ryall has unveiled the colored version of the All Hail Megatron #1 retailer-exclusive variant cover, which he gave a penciled peek of yesterday. Accompanying this look, Casey Coller, a new-comer into the IDW Publishing fold and the man responsible for the pencils of this cover, gave a bittersweet background story of the days he drew this cover. Read that and look at the cover by jumping in.

IDW Publishing's editor-in-chief has revealed the pencils to the All Hail Megatron #1 retailer-exclusive variant cover. Chris Ryall tells us that the love of this cover will be sent overseas to UK-based comic book store Apocalypse Comics. Art is by new-comer Casey Coller. He also notes that just because Reflector is featured on this cover, it does not necessarily mean that he will make an appearance in the comic. To take a look at the cover, click into the full article.

The guys over at our sister site Comic News International want to remind you that tomorrow, May 3rd, is Free Comic Book Day! For your applicable tastes, IDW Publishing will be offering a Transformers: Animated book during tomorrow's event.

File this one under, "slipped through the cracks, my bad," but Simon Furman has revealed that the Dinobots project discussed during the IDW Publishing panel at BotCon 2008 will be titled "Maximum Dinobots." Read more about the book.

Thanks to IDW Publishing's Josh Burcham, we have a look at the fully-colored cover of All Hail Megatron #2.
