Mike Costa Interview, Transformers #7 Preview

ComicBookResources has posted an interview with Transformers Ongoing and Ironhide writer Mike Costa as he talks about the franchise. In addition, they posted the covers and first three pages Transformers #7 that I believe is hitting store shelves this Wednesday. Mike Costa talks about the return of Megatron after his defeat in the All Hail Megatron story and the impact it will have on the comics including Starscream who took over as leader of the Decepticons.

"Starscream is not doing great, and definitely does not have Megatron's interests at heart. Starscream is really only focused on his own interests, which is staying in power. As for Megatron...he's not doing good. In fact, the Decepticons are still behaving as if he's dead, and he basically is. Dude took a head-shot from a laser-cannon. That requires a lot of bed-rest, even if you're Megatron."

"The Decepticons are having an even bigger problem with change than the Autobots have," the writer continued, adding that Starscream's ineffectual and self-aggrandizing has "created a power-vacuum where order has almost totally broken down. They are stranded in a temporary base not so much because they can't leave, but because they have no direction."

He also talked about the Ironhide mini-series.Read More »
