The first issue of the unofficial Transformers Animated Mirror Mirror comic is now available both physically and digitally.
I am so happy to see this come out. I was lucky enough to be close friends with Derrick J Wyatt and got to help him build the TFA Shattered Glass universe after the series cancellation with the intention of doing stories and comics for the Transformers Collectors Club starting in late 2010. Then they lost the license. But we never stopped. Derrick and Josh Perez did tons of character recolors, and Derrick and I still worked on fiction off and on. Then we lost Derrick.
The Shattered Glass universe was Derrick’s baby. There was so much potential, so many ideas that were never going to happen.
Then Keyan Carlile stepped in and wanted to make it a comic. Wanted to bring it to life.
I had helped Keyan out with an SG TFA video and a bunch of season 4 stuff in the past, so…
For over a year I have been staff on this comic project as a story consultant. I told Keyan everything I could about the universe and characters along with important events. I helped with story and characters, and did a pass on all of SG Sari’s dialogue and behavior.
After a lot of work, we have a story that is still mostly in continuity (in every way that matters to me) with everything Derrick and I actually got to put out (bios and SG Sari’s diary) and containing most of the ideas we never got to use.
It’s not what the episode would have been like if the show hadn’t been cancelled. But it’s very much in line with what would have been in the club magazine, with some neccesary changes an honestly some improvements. The story is newly written by Keyan, but I can promise you Derrick would have approved of it.
This has been in the works since before Bumble Prime even started.
It’s finally happening. I almost can’t believe it.
We’re doing it for you, Derrick.
Issue 1 of 4. I hope you enjoy it.
