Idea and Design Works, LLC currently owns the Transformers comic book license as of May 2005, following the financial collapse of their predecessor, Dreamwave, at the tail-end of 2004. The flagship title is a rebooted G1 continuity written by longtime Transformers scribe Simon Furman, with art by E.J. Su (who's previously worked on G.I. Joe/Transformers Vol. 2 for Devil's Due).
