Writer and artist Daniel Warren Johnson has revealed his final issue on Transformers will be with issue #24. As revealed on a Reddit AMA earlier today, the news comes as a bit of a surprise since he’s so damn good at the book, and fans are loving it.
“Honestly, I’m having so much fun I would love to,” Johnson wrote. “But when I make anything, writing, drawing, or both, I only know how to go 110 percent. So all that to say, I’m killing myself and can only go for so long. My choice to leave at 24 is more of a choice for my mental health and for my family than however I may feel about my wonderful Cybertronians. Thank you for your support!”
That’s good and bad news, on some scale. Given how great the series has been–just read our reviews to see–it’s sad, but 24 issues is a healthy amount. Enough to fill a nice thick hardcover! Plus, with Jorge Corona joining him on the series as artist, it’ll look amazing.
Later in the same AMA, Johnson was asked if he’d ever create his own Transformer. He didn’t give a direct answer, but it sounds like it’s definitely in the cards. “I wish I could indulge your Q with a dope answer, but I have to be lame and say “wait and see” :) All that to say I have definitely invented plenty of Transformers when I was a kid.”
