Description

Transformers #1 Incentive 1:25 ratio cover by Cliff Chiang. The first issue comic is a hit by Daniel Warren Johnson and is going into multiple printings. The Felix art drop is a sell out for issue one and issue two has sold complete. Fun times to see this property get this huge of a reception as DWJ's star power and passion for the property comes through on every piece. Same with Cliff Chiang on this cover as he's from that same age range where Gen1 would have been around for afterschool cartoons, the Marvel comics, and the toys.

Wow, this is a prime piece of artwork, it must completely transform your collection. Classic Chiang style, it's a major cover from a series and expanded universe that is sure to be the next huge thing! Great piece.

I'm quite envious - this was a standout piece from the drop for me as well and it was the first request I sent. Congrats - this beautifully exemplifies the sheer awesomeness that DDubs is going to bring to the series. Love it!

While Paper Girls and Wonder Woman were fine, this art really is the smoking gun that shows the world that Chiang should have been drawing Transformers all along!  Congrats and Roll Out!

I love that it has the look and feel of a vintage Transformers cover! What a fun blast from the past. Makes me happy to see the future of the franchise has a strong all-spark again. The 8 year old me knows well how much fun you must've had with that recreation ;) Call back to childhood, watching the cartoons, reading the comics with our toys out playing along. Congratulations Marcus, you've got yourself a fantastic time machine.

Cliff "transformed" a blank board into #1 gold. There's so much fluid action left to right and beaming headlights leading the way. Congratulations Marcus.

I'm sure that Prime strike warrants a StarSCREAM!  Robots do feel pain, right?!  Classic looking Optimus there, man.  Was thinking this was a stunner at the drop.  Big congrats!

I love this Transformers #1 cover! Cliff Chiang really killed it here! I love the dimension he created, with the jet almost flying off the page into the reader's lap. Love the addition of the van underneath. It's a great example of Chiang's phenomenal talent!

How can an artist be so immediately identifiable and also such a chameleon? Chiang is a true master and this is a grail of a piece.

WOW!!  This one puts the "MPH" in "OOOMPH!!"  Cliff shows that DWJ isn't the only one who can turn in gut punches of Autobot action here.  I love the ground-level camera POV which amplifies the peril of this battle crashing down, from a very real and human perspective (as well as the scale of the combatants).  And Optimus' non-nonsense attack is brutal and violent and just wicked!  Heavy metal! Really interesting choice on the published colors to set the scene during night; I feel the sense of danger may have been more amplified during the day (as more onlookers / travelers would potentially be exposed to the conflict)...?  And on top of all that, a cover image that can spawn a "cover version" via your gripping and dramatic re-enactment?  Yowza!  ROLL OUT, Marcus!! :)

This is more than meets the eye! Optimus battle! (Insert mechanized transforming sound here). He's got yer number, Star Scream. Love this, I t brings me right back to my youth and all my Transformers. The dino ones were my favorite. Followed by the wrecking bots. Prime!
