Notes

  • Chris Mowry has a particular fondness for Cosmos, and a Spotlight: Cosmos by him was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2008 for release in 2009, with art by Andrew Griffith.[1][2][3] Later, though, Mowry announced on a (now defunct) IDW forum thread that the project was likely postponed or cancelled altogether, citing demotivation as a result of fan backlash towards IDW's output at the time.[4] Now, the cover art is the only piece of this we've officially seen... but in May 2009, the unofficial Transformers: Mosaic strip "I Am..." was released, created by Mowry and Griffith. How exactly this was related is unknown.[5]
