Transformers Spotlight: Wheelie
Simon Furman (w); Klaus Scherwinski (a, c)

A second Transformers Spotlight this month finally showcases one of the most underrated of all TRANSFORMERS, the Autobot Wheelie!

Trapped, alone on a hostile, faraway planet, the diminutive Autobot must dig deeper than ever before just to survive, running a gauntlet of pain and self-sacrifice that leads, ultimately, to a choice that will test not just his allegiance, but his very soul! Featuring two special covers from Scherwinski.

I think it's the Target movie prequel stories in a normal comic edition.

Makes sense. I think I saw one of the sequel writers referencing it as a source whilst plugging RoS... general release for it would help.

Took a few seconds for it to twig for me as well. It's nice to see these get a wider audience as both - and especially the Bumblebee one -- are amoungst the best of the Movie tie in comics.

I am really curious to see how well Spotlight: Wheelie will sell. I can see it doing really badly due to hatred of the character, or surprisingly well due to fans' morbid desire to see what it could possibly be about.

That cover looks real nice. That might help it along.
