    Transformers Comic is a British Comic published monthly by Titan Magazines. It often features strips re-printed from American comics and graphic novels. The first issue was released in July 2007 to tie in with the film. As of October 2011 it has run for four volumes.

    Publication history

    Volume 1 ran for 25 issues before the second volume began in 2009 to tie in with the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Volume 3 began in 2011 to tie in with the third film and a fourth has just launched for the new animated series; Transformers: Prime. For the last few issues of Volume 1, the Transformers: Universe toy line logo was on the cover.

    Strips

    During the first volume, the comic printed three strips per issue. These included brand new strips written by Simon Furman (his work continued into volume 2) and some re prints such as the Beast Wars series (also by Furman) and the Movie Prequel. By volume 3, the magazine had a lower amount of pages and only one strip was usually seen. The most recent strips from volumes 3 and 4 are written by Robin Etherington.

    Free gift

    Each issue comes with a free gift. #1 had dog tags with Autobot or Decepticon logos on them, #2 had removable tattoos, #3 had a keyring, which would be either the Autobots or Decepticons logo, and #4 had 4 badges.

    Transformers Animated Comic

    In 2009, Titan released a comic based on the animated series Transformers: Animated; however, it only lasted for three issues due to low sales. The first strip to be published in the magazine was 'Burnout' written by Simon Furman. Another strip in the first issue was an adaptation of the episode 'Blast from the Past'.
