Owner's Description

Synopsis Issue #0: "Prelude To Infiltration"

At a bus station in Phoenix, Arizona, young Verity Carlo is picking her marks when she spies a high-end palmtop PC in use by an anonymous businessman. Unknown to all, he's being tracked by someone, or something, in the guise of a black sports car.

Using a stolen ticket, Verity hops onto the same Los Angeles-bound coach as the businessman and while he's napping she lifts his palmtop. Helped along by a rancid bagel, Verity feigns illness and is left at the side of the road. The coach takes off, followed closely behind by two seemingly normal sports cars. Verity sticks out her thumb at the next car and is picked up by an intense young man, Hunter O'Nion, who is rather self-conscious about his last name. Hunter takes a sudden detour and the pair discover that Verity's coach has been run off the road by two sports cars. Everyone's okay, except that the businessman whose palmtop Verity stole is missing. After lots of prodding by Verity, Hunter reveals that he's an internet alien conspiracy theorist tracking down reports of giant machines in the area. She just finishes a laugh at his expense when the two are scanned and attacked by a blue fighter jet.

Hunter's van is destroyed, but he and Verity are saved—by the smiling driver of a suspiciously well-armed ambulance...

Bot Con!!

San Diego, CA (August 22, 2005) Every year, the Transformers faithful attend BotCon, a Hasbro-sponsored convention, to discuss their beloved robots in disguise. This year, those fans are in for a special treat in the form of IDW Publishing’s The Transformers #0, which will be making its debut at the show. What’s more, the comic will feature a special cover designed and illustrated by Hasbro’s Brand/Marketing Creative Director Aaron Archer and his staff.

UPDATE JUNE 1/14: I have 53 of the 57 covers. Two of the 53 need upgrades. To see them all, go to “My Slabbed Comics”, under AlphaPrimeIan.
