From the Allspark:

John Barber takes over editorial duties of Transformers.

This is almost certainly good news, for those keeping track of things like 'news' as it relates to Transformer comics. The handle that Barber had on the movie comics was noteworthy and his prose stuff in the back of the movie adaptation comics was a fun read.

EDITRON.

Unless Andy Schmit was lying, and he wouldn't do that. He's far too stupid to manage it.

Is that the biggest font we can manage? Big Board has fonts that go up to 84, and 18 graphics per post.

You could do one enormous letter per image?

If he is the opposite of Schmidt he'd surely be Editorimus Prime?

No, wait, sorry:

EDITORIMUS PRIME.

There, that's better. None of the DOTM comics sounded much better than previous efforts in synopsis (though I have the advantage of actually knowing what is actually in the film, something IDW never seem to have bothered with. Which wouldn't be so bad if the first two hadn't been out for a few years now. Come on guys, they're on DVD! You could even tape them off the telly next time they're on).
