The solicits for Transformers #2 promise high-flying action, and Daniel Warren Johnson's cover sees Decepticon Starscream take the fight to the skies! Skybound Entertainment's Transformers series is just a couple of months away, and already the series is promising some high-flying, jet fighter action right out of Top Gun, with solicitations for the series' second issue indicating that Decepticon Starscream is set to go head-to-head with at least one unlucky Air Force pilot. SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Transformers #2 - from writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson, who recently won an Eisner Award for his Image Comics series Do A Powerbomb! - is set to be released in November, with its cover featuring Starscream in mid-battle, flying straight at a fighter jet. Check out Daniel Warren Johnson and colorist Mike Spicer's excellent cover below. Starscream Terrorizes the Skies In Cover Art For Transformers #2 Johnson's cover for Transformers #2 does a fantastic job of highlighting the terror of the Transformers, in a way that the franchise never really delves into. The idea of being a human pilot, in an aerial dogfight, when suddenly your opponent's jet turns into a giant robot, would be truly terrifying, and Johnson captures that feeling by placing the point-of-view within the cockpit from the pilot's perspective, seeing Starscream flying straight at them. The cover features Starscream flying out of an explosion - presumably a fighter jet he's just made short work of, and now has his sights set on his next aerial target. Subheading 2 With the first issue of Skybound and Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers arriving in October, it remains to be seen how Optimus Prime will gather his remaining Autobots stranded on Earth and mount an offensive against the Decepticons. Advance materials for the series indicate Prime is attempting to atone for some previous failure he made in the conflict on Cybertron, it should make for a gripping story to see the Autobot leader get his groove back as he tries to keep the Cybertronian war from destroying their newfound home on planet Earth. However, before that happens, it appears Starscream will be a problem for the U.S. Air Force. The detail of the Transformers #2 helps sell the reality of the situation, making the Transformers feel like a tangible and very real part of the world depicted on the comic book page. It is the type of visceral thrill seen in the Top Gun movies, and hopefully is representative of the action seen in the issue itself. Given Johnson's energetic and expressive style, it should prove exciting to see him Starscream take a group of fighter jets. Just how much damage Starscream is able to wreak upon humanity remains to be seen, so fans won't want to miss Transformers #2 when it goes on sale November, 8th 2023 from Skybound Entertainment.
