By now the first issue of the 2013 GIJCC Magazine should have started hitting Club members' mailboxes.

In this issue, for Adventure Team, Tod Pleasant gives us a look at how Joe the Land Adventurer joined the team! Let's just say that he uses his big foot to kick down the door. (Bad pun is bad!) For the modern setting comic, "Duties as Assigned", Footloose reports about the events in the Burmese jungle and we find out that things still aren't going well in England. Guest starring Z-Force's Captain "Skip" Campbell!

Also showing up at doorsteps in the US are the second batch of FSS figures. I won't ruin the surprise, but it's a great pair of figures to go with your GIJCC Magazine. Read the comic, and reenact the scenes with your toys! Relive that child hood!

I haven't written a new journal in forever!

Anyway, I hope most of you have seen eHOBBY's new Shattered Glass VSE set with Shattered Glass Soundwave, Blaster, Rewind, Ramhorn, Rattbat, Slugfest and Solarbot. It was great fun working with eHOBBY on the set and accompanying fiction and I think all of the toys have so far turned out great! I'd share my favorites, but I'm afraid I might be biased towards a few of them. So I'll just say they are all really nice looking figures!

You can check out the set of toys by following these links:

Also, the TCC have posted a new epilog comic that follows the events of the "A Flash Forward" comic. Since AFF hasn't yet ended, there aren't any spoilers, instead the epilog gives us a lead into the 2013 TCC Magazine comic. It'll feature Depth Charge, Ultra Mammoth and a Matrix Quest! I handed the reins over to another talented writer for the 2013 comic, so I can't wait to see how it turns out!

As for the epilog, we again see the Transtech observing the damage caused when SG Ultra Magnus plucked the Earth from the Classicsverse and dropped it in the middle of the Shatteredverse. Things aren't so good in the Transformers multiverse as the aftershocks start destroying parallel universes everywhere. It's a terrible fate that awaits the doomed universes... So why is Rhinox more concerned about an artifact called the "Origin Matrix" than he is fixing the chaos? Check out the two page epilog below:

Speaking of AFF, there are only two installments left! How will our heroes escape Jhiaxus' clutch? What will become of the Decepticon's batches of Cybertronian clones? There's only a short wait left to find out!

And you don't want to miss the last panel of Part 6. It might just give you a hint as to what's to come from Fun Publications.

Lastly, there's Lydia vs. The Zombies. This is a new comic from Fun Publications (and has nothing to do with Transformers or GI Joe), featuring a toddler braving the scary world of a zombie apocalypse! The concept came from Rob Meyer (who you may have seen on Travel Channel's "Toy Hunter" series, and who also did the cover art for the comic), and should be a fun little horror story for all the little kiddies out there. I had a great time writing and coloring this one, so I hope all the comic readers out there give it a try!

Head out to a comic store now and make sure that they order you an issue! Find out more about the comic below:

I hope people are getting excited for BotCon 2012! I've uploaded two pieces of promotional art with which I helped out.

Back when "Desert Heat" came out, I was instantly enamored with a Soundwave that turned into a white "Cold Slither" van. So you can probably guess I'm a tad enthused to see him make a return!

And a Powered Convoy colored Ultra Magnus? Can't say "no" to that either!

Those of you who have gotten the magazine may have noticed that Around Cybertron is no longer a part of it. Sad, but column #18 is the last strip for the time being.

Hopefully this won't be the last we see of our reporter friends!

It looks like issue #39 of the TCC Magazine are now showing up in mailboxes! What does it have in store?

For starters, an article giving fans their first look at the SDCC Transformers Exclusives for this year! Ultimate Optimus Prime form "Dark of the Moon" in Premium deco and packaging, and "Transformers: Prime" Optimus Prime in Premium deco and packaging!

Also, two interviews. One with Marty Isenberg and Derrick Wyatt, two of the masterminds behind the Botcon 2011 toys and comic! The other interview is Screamer's Retro-views with none other than the great Frank Welker!

Moving on from that are the bios - Prowl and Side Burn, the comic - Seekers and Combaticons and Deathsuarus, oh my!, and lastly the final page, with Around Cybertron, Recordicons and fan art.

Hope you enjoy it!

Now as for Botcon, make sure you stop by and say "hi"! I'll have a table with a few prints on display. Rook, SG Rook, a sample of Around Cybertron strips, and bio pages for some of the SG reporters you know and love! Ok, maybe you won't "know" them yet, since they're mostly guest stars. But you will know them after you read their bios! Monstructor, Esmeral, Countdown, Mirage, Andromeda, WASP... Check them out!
