Get ready to return to the dark reflection of the Transformers universe as IDW Publishing announces the upcoming launch of Transformers: Shattered Glass II, the follow-up to last year’s original series which takes place in Hasbro’s fan favourite alternate reality ‘mirror universe’.
Shattered Glass II will reunite the creative team of writer Danny Lore, artists Daniel Khanna and Guido Guidi, and colorist John-Paul Bove, along with incoming artist Marcelo Matere.
“When we ended the first series, I was overjoyed at the fan reaction to our version of Shattered Glass,” states writer Danny Lore. “It was a world full of passionate revolutionaries, terrifying warlords, and lots of big things going boom. The chance to revisit Shattered Glass, giving you even more of all that, really feels like coming home—a very explosive home with a lot of really tall folk, but home nonetheless!”
“It’s so exciting to be bringing even more Shattered Glass characters to life,” adds editor Riley Farmer. “We always want to give the fans what they want, and when we can give them an awesome comic book series and provide backstory for amazing toys through our partnership with Hasbro…well, what could be better?”
In a world where the virtuous icons you once knew are monstrously evil, Optimus Prime is a ruthless tyrant and Megatron is a compassionate peacekeeper. Cybertron sits on the brink of war as Autobots and Decepticons race to gain control of a Titan juggernaut whose raw power could decide the ultimate victor. However, while seemingly everyone is laser-focused on the Titan, the powerful shadow broker Ultra Magnus puts a sinister plan into action!
Transformers: Shattered Glass II #1 will go on sale in August and will be available with the above three covers from Marcelo Matere, Red Powell, and Nick Brokenshire respectively.
