So far from the screen caps, it looks to be a very promising Comic book although it sucks that it will only be 4 issues long. I still can't wait till this comic comes out because I will definitely pick it up.
Well actually the way that they have both Magmatron and Lioconvoy, it means that they are probably following Japan's Beast Wars Neo and Beast Wars II series.
No, Furman is writing both IDW publications, the reason BW is four issues is to give Furman time to work on the six issue Generation One mini-series and the Power Rangers SPD comic strip for the Jetix UK Magazine.
