From Air Hammer to Wolfang, the Sourcebook highlights the characters, worlds and technology from all generations and incarnations of Beast Wars. Furman and Figueroa Collaborate on Beast Wars: The AscendingWriter Simon Furman and artist Don Figueroa have teamed up again to follow-up their acclaimed Transformers: Beast Wars: The Gathering miniseries. This next chapter will be a four-part miniseries entitled Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending. The previous miniseries launched in early 2006 as a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Beast Wars animated series, and left fans clamoring for more. "The re-pairing of this beloved writer and artist is exactly what fans have been wanting to see," said Chris Ryall, editor-in-chief and publisher of IDW Publishing. Since their first Beast Wars collaboration, "there has been a steady stream of requests for the return of these fan-favorites," said Ryall. "The demand for this pairing has just grown over time. And this comic book has even more appeal because people know what they are in for."The Ascending spirals out of events in The Gathering. Magmatron, a disembodied entity that exists out of time and space, is witness to Cybertron's unchecked descent into chaos and madness-all a prelude to its complete and utter destruction. Powerless to directly affect this terrifying apocalypse, Magmatron's last desperate recourse is to try and bring his greatest enemy, Razorbeast, together with fellow Maximals Lio Convoy and the pack.Hitting comic stores in August, The Ascending #1 is the first chapter of this new four-part miniseries.
