Release schedule?

[Impactor returns 2.0]

So, as im upto date with all things TF comic wise I started to wonder what kind of release schedule IDW use?

Are we supposed to get 1 comic every 2 months or do they release a whole series in bulk?

Why cant I have them delivered to my door every week, i used to be able to cut this little slip out of the front of my G1 comic, and hand it to my local newsagents, then all the magic happened!

Each [mini] series operates on a 1 issue per month schedule. Or does in theory, presuming they come out when they're meant to.

The Spotlights are a bit more intermittent.

I think you can actually subscribe like that if you're in the country of publication. But because they're TEH IMPOTTS, no can do.

Though I get mine through Mr Bax, so I still get em through teh dooooor. Albeit about a week after they come out.

And when is the next mini-series going to hit the shelf?

[Brendocon]

We're sort of in the middle of it. Confusion reigns due to the amalgamation of the ongoing and the Spotlights.

Current release sched for this year looks like:

August - Revs #3, AHM #2
Sep - Revs #4, AHM #3
Oct - AHM #4
Nov - AHM #5, Maximum Dinobots #1
Dec - AHM #6, Max Dino #2, Spotlight Blurr

There's Animated and the Movie stuff too, but that's it as far as "Main" continuity goes.

Whats it like being back on the TF treadmill Impy?

[Impactor returns 2.0]

its a bit slow going init?

Id rather have the artwork of the G1 era and a comic every week...

[Best First]

yeah, Rev and AHMonkeyPoo come out the same week i think - nay well staggered.

[Impactor returns 2.0]

Looking back, I think its amazing we had a G1 comic every week - the pencils were just as good, the script was decent - u even had gi-joe or the inhumanoids in the back for an added bonus.

How did they do it! ?

You forgot Combat Colin in that little lot... happy days.

[Brendocon]

Right, Rev #3 and AHM #2 are both due out this week huzzah.

November solicits have been announced. Spotlight Blurr is now due in November. Maximum Dinobots... isn't.

:-/

Though, to compensate, they're reissuing a 3D version of Spotlight Prime. Yay?

[stranger]

Yay?

I think its a Yay if it's a one off. A bit of fun...

As for no Maximum Dinobots... Most certainly not a yay.

Probably from drawing all those Micromasters in Rev #2.
