Transformers 18 Preview Art

Did you read this week's issue? Did you meet our new Autobot? Are you ready to shred alongside them? Next month, Daniel Warren Johnson and Jorge Corona bring the third arc in their Energon Universe saga to a close. Transformers #18 is guaranteed to break a lot of hearts and a whole lot of people as Seattle seemingly comes crumbling down in totality. And we've got some radical preview art to share.


Below is a three-page preview of Transformers #18, the accompanying Skybound Entertainment press release and a smattering of variant covers from folks like Daniel Warren Johnson, Jorge Corona, Karl Kerschl, Fliya Braukhin, Oliver Ono, and colorist Mike Spicer. You'll see some serious Cybertronian on Cybertronian mega violence with little Earthlings scrambling for cover. Every fist thrown is a transformative decision (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) that they won't be able to reverse.


Transformers #18 hits comic shops on March 12th.
