TRANSFORMERS: REANIMATED

After completing his cover for Transformers: REANIMATED issue 5, 'A Transformers Christmas Carol', I got to interview Lee Sullivan over Skype.

Mr. Sullivan is a British comics artist, illustrator, and saxophonist. While he originally went to school and was educated as a wildlife and technical artist, Sullivan worked in the British aerospace, advertising and magazine publishing industries before being introduced to the world of comics in 1988. He has worked on Marvel UK's Thundercats, Death's Head, RoboCop (US), Wildcards (US), William Shatner's TekWorld (US), 2000AD, Judge Dredd and many others.

Among others, the topics I spoke with Mr. Sullivan were:

The Transformers: REANIMATED coverLee's history with artThundercatsDoctor WhoRed DwarfPlaying saxophone in a rock band.Rockets, The Universe and Everything

Interviewing Lee was so much fun. I learned a lot and I genuinely think I made a new friend.

I hope you enjoy it.

Wait, those aren't Christmas... ah, close enough.

The audio reading of Transformers: REANIMATED issue 5 'A Transformers Christmas Carol' reunites Greig and I with the full Autopod Decepticast Crew and Mike Seibert of Mike Seibert Radio for one hell of a funny reading.

On top of that, issue 5 is DOUBLE-SIZED!

That's right. Give those Bah, Humbug Blues the boot. NOTE: Images not to scale with actual comic issue.

So rather than the normal twenty comic book pages, as a special Holiday gift, we read to you forty, that's right forty pages of G1 goodness. That's twice the action and twice the comedy! For free!

"This is bad comedy."

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,Yoshi & Greig

Greig and I didn't get this reading of issue 4 out last month as we had hoped to. Thanksgiving and travel plans on my end got in the way of being able to get it recorded and edited before issue 5 came out. But it is out now and we hope you enjoy and get a laugh out of it. I know that while recording it, we sure did. Also, the reading of issue 5 is coming this month. Stay tuned!

For this episode, Greig and I are reunited by Transformers: REANIMATED fans, James Fisher (A.K.A. Dogcades - Twitter, Instagram) and Toby Hixson (ALPHAMAGNUS - Patreon, Twitter, Instagram), as we read through issue 4 and voice out the cast of characters.

Toby and James are so fun to work with and they have an INCREDIBLE vocal character range! We had so many laughs during this recording that we think you will be chuckling right along with us.

In this episode, Damon shares with us how he got into comic book art. He also talks about his love for G1 Transformers, what it's been like working with us and reveals some SPOILERS on upcoming issues of Transformers: REANIMATED.

Poster for: Honey, I Blew Up the Kid.

The original cover idea that Greig and I came up with for Transformers: Reanimated issue 4 was a homage to 'Honey, I Blew Up the Kid'. We wanted to replace the kid with Frenzy and replace Rick Moranis with Cosmos. A lot of the ideas that Greig and I have had for these comic book covers come from my background hobby of collecting sketch covers, and having an idea (or homage) allows me to easily show an artist something and say, "I want that. Only replace the characters with Transformers." It's quick and easy that way. I know what I am going to get and the artist has an example to look at of what I want. As such, I've gotten some beautiful sketch covers doing it this way.

Damon, however; asked if he could pitch an original idea for the cover, and what he pitched actually looked so much better than the homage Greig and I requested. Damon simply gets it. He understands what we are trying to do with Transformers: REANIMATED and it shows in his enthusiasm and more incredibly, his art. We are immensely lucky to have him on our team.

"Artwork: Exceptional."
