Apocalypse Comics sent us a line letting us know about exclusive comic covers that will be available thru them at New York Comic Con. Included will be covers for Transformers #12 and G.I. Joe # 23 from IDW.
[INDENT]We will be bringing two exclusive variants to this years New York Comic Con. The first is for Transformers #12, and is a homage to the classic Jack Kirby cover of X-Men #1. The second is for GI Joe #23 and is a homage to the unforgettable Apocalypse Now! movie poster. The TF cover features Sideswipe, Prowl, Swoop, First Aid, Brainstorm, Bombshell and Scrapper and the GI Joe cover features Baron Bludd and Duke. The reason we have chosen these specific characters to grace the covers is because they were all voiced by legendary voice actor Michael Bell who will be joining us at the convention, signing comics, figures, DVDs etc…
Also joining us at the show will be the artists of both covers, penciler Casey Coller (who also penciled TF Spotlight Drift, Spotlight Blurr and the Ironhide mini series as well as numerous All Hail Megatron covers) and colorist John-Paul Bove. Casey will be sketching all weekend and John-Paul will be able to color sketches all weekend too as well as both signing comics.
So with three top guests and two awesome Convention Exclusive Covers, make sure you visit the Apocalypse Comics booth (booth #2281) for your collectible must haves!!![/INDENT]

As a huge X-men fan I have to say I absolutely love that Transformers cover. I'd love to get one but that's not going to happen.

I'm about 80% sure I'll be there for Saturday. Hope to get the covers.
I like both of 'em but the robot thats "Jean" in the cover, the pose just doesn't work unless it's a female body, lol

Love the Apocalypse Now cover! Wonder if Coppola knows about this homage to his film.
Additonally, if anyone cares about the artist that did the original movie poster art for Apocalypse Now, check out Bob Peak. One of the greatest artist to ever live. enjoi.

That X-Men #1 tribute is UNCANNY.
Anyone know what First Aid's personality is like. Was he ever given one? (Maybe this question is better asked on TFW.)
