Transformers Saga Expands at IDW with Beast Wars #1

IDW Publishing is giving fans of the Robots in Disguise something they've been demanding courtesy of Transformers: Beast Wars #1 (DEC053053, $2.99), a Featured Item in the December Previews!

Detailing the time-lost conflicts of the Maximals and the Predacons, Beast Wars celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2006, and IDW is marking that milestone by giving readers the first-ever pairing of legendary Transformers scribe Simon Furman and artist extraordinaire Don Figueroa on a Beast Wars saga! Inside, Predacon general Magmatron is on a mission to capture the renegade Megatron, who's set on bringing Cybertron to its knees. All he needs to pull it off is an army... and unfortunately for the heroic Maximals, he knows just where to find one!

Easily marketed to Transformers followers, as well as anyone who enjoys the work of Simon or Figueroa, Beast Wars #1 is scheduled for delivery on February 22, 2006.
