I lost count of the times I read the script for #12 while I was working on it and there was always something new that I had obvioulsy missed before hand! One of the things I love about Simon's writing, from an artist's point of view, is that the action is all there, but there's also a lot of freedom to interpret the script, hopefully it won't be too long before I get another one to work from ;o) And on the Dragon's Claws front, colour me totally psyched about this, not only did I get to have the story Simon and I did four years ago (is it really that long ago Simon?) included in the collection, but I've done a new, updated version, completely new art by me and colours by Jason Cardy, but I've just finished the inks this evening on a piece which I'm super chuffed to have been asked to do. Don't want to give anything away, but it was one of the most fun jobs I've ever had, fulfilling a childhood and professional dream. Sorry to have hijacked your blog there Simon, back to you!

Picked it up today (Forbidden Planet Glasgow had it in early). Another highly enjoyable instalment with loads going on in just 11 pages and a genuinely thrilling cliff-hanger regarding the US President. I guessed it might be that but still a good moment. The plane v Bumblebe sequence was very well paced and a solid slice of action. Mr Furman, if I could give some feedback on the scripts you had on offer at AA? I picked up the scripts for Marvel US #80 and Titan's TF-UK #1, #9, #10 and #12 and settled down to read them properly with a pint of coke this evening. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining a read they were in their own right, considering they are written to guide the artists, etc. The Titan scripts in particular were a cracking good read and I got quite caught up on the action! Very excitingly described! I genuinely enjoyed reading them. I do hope you consider making more of your Transformer comic scripts available. I'd be happy to pick them up in that format! SPOILERS!

One question - the Autobot Longarm got shot down in Twilight's Last Gleaming and then seen carried out by the others. Is he dead or just badly injured?

But truth is, I kind of agitated for one, given that they'd done the two Death's Head collections already, and luckily Brady Webb, who's on editorial duty for these, was entirely sympathetic to the cause. And just to whet your appetite further, the DC collection has a new intro (by me), a new cover from Geoff, new art (by Paul Ridgon, plus the hard-to-find 'Just One Page' DC strip we did a year or three back) and the cover to Dragon's Claws #2... back when it was still Dragon's Teeth! Wowza! Bloody great is (was) what I thought when I heard that Panini were doing a Dragon’s Claws TPB.
