This March Transformers take on The Terminators in epic comic showdown

Sometimes a comic comes along that makes so much sense in its own alternate history sort of way, that you wonder why it took so long to happen.

This is one such book… Transformers and The Terminator.

Seriously, doesn’t that just… work!?

This March IDW Publishing’s four-issue miniseries will kick off that pits two of the world’s deadliest and best known robotic creation against each other for the first time since they both appeared in 1984.

In partnership with Dark Horse Comics, the series will be written by David Mariotte, John Barber and Tom Waltz, with art by Alex Milne.

The series is described as an “epic crossover that revisits the concepts of alien invasion and time-traveling resistance fighters…but twists them in unexpected ways.”

IDW’s editor in chief Barber, had this to say:  “I still remember the visceral thrill and terror of my first viewing of The Terminator and while I’ve seen it a hundred times since then, it still gets my pulse running. I’ve worked on Transformers a lot over the years, and the opportunity to combine these two mechanistic universes together to see who comes out on top (while working alongside Tom, David and my old collaborator Alex, no less) — well, it’s way too exciting a chance to pass up.”

We know what will be top of our pull list this March.
