After a bumper year for Transformers Comics, IDW are not resting on their laurels as we enter the festive season.

This week, Wednesday the 17th of December 2008 will only see 1 release from IDW Publishing, but it is a big comic in regards to the year 2009.

Thanks to RyallTime, the blog of IDW's Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall, we can confirm that this week will see the release of the first prequel comic for the upcoming 2009 release of the second Transformers Movie "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen".
- Transformers Alliance: Destiny #1

Transformers Alliance: Destiny #1 will be written by Chris Mowry, who was also responsible for the Transformers Movie Sequel Comic reign of Starscream. Alex Milne is on art duties with colours to be handled by Josh Perez.

As for next week's releases, they remain unknown for the present, as IDW's Transformers editor Denton Tipton has not updated his blog From the Tip with release past the 17th of December. It is not known if the next release date of the 24th of December will see any releases due to it's proximity to Christmas, but stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more information as it comes to hand.

Except to my regular store, since I didn't order it in time. I'll have to wait till next week. Speaking of which...

Well, according to the guy who owns the store where I get my comics, they ARE shipping that week, and based of past experience, we can probably expect (note my language here) All Hail Megatron #6.

Again, I should say that this PROBABLY will happen, if it indeed happens at all. Nothing in this life is guaranteed.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they did ship comics, but according to Denton Tipton, AHM #6 is due the week after Christmas:

Oh. Well, like I said, it's based on past experience that I made that assumption. I usually get AHM the same week I get Runaways, and that's coming out next week.
