IRONHIDE Returns to Comics
Friday, Feb 19th, 2010
All-new TRANSFORMERS comic series begins in May 
San Diego, CA (February 19, 2010) - This May, fan-favorite
IRONHIDE is back from the dead for his own four-issue series - or
is he? Under license from Hasbro, TRANSFORMERS:
IRONHIDE explores the history of OPTIMUS PRIME's best
friend and the aftermath of his shocking death in TRANSFORMERS
#1.
"Just because he's dead, doesn't mean he's not important! This is
comics, folks!" said IDW TRANSFORMERS editor Andy Schmidt. "While
IRONHIDE's death is extremely important to what's happening in the
ongoing TRANSFORMERS series, it turns out it's even more important
to the TRANSFORMERS home world of CYBERTRON."
Located on CYBERTRON, TRANSFORMERS: IRONHIDE weaves a rich tale of consequences past and present. Comics mainstay Mike Costa pens this exciting story, with art by the talented Casey Coller. Coller and Marcelo Matere will provide eye-catching covers.
"If you're a TRANSFORMERS comic fan, this is a must-have. The story has huge ramifications for the ongoing TRANSFORMERS comic saga," adds Schmidt.
TRANSFORMERS: IRONHIDE #1 (of 4; $3.99, 32 page; full color) will be available in stores in May. Diamond order code: MAR10 0988.
