Two ongoings coming after Chaos

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Two ongoings coming after Chaos

Ryall has announced two ongoings. Let's hope he takes the "one for the longtime fans and one for some new writer to **** all over the place" approach.

Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

I'm thinking Simon's on one. Just a hunch. One that will surely please Bumblemus and bring him back into the TF comic fold if my guess is right.

Still don't see why having him continue the Marvel G1 story is a bad idea for IDW. IDW's Marvel G.I. Joe title outsells the current TF ongoing.

Well, that just points out IDW's hypocritical stance then.

I mean, on the one hand when fans complain about the story and writing and so forth, the response from IDW is sometimes "well, the book is selling well, it's just the loud voice of an online vocal minority."

Then, when an online petition doesn't get the results they want, it's "see, not enough fans want this to make it worthwhile."

So this issue 125 thing Schmidt made such a big deal about, and ideas what the big let-down will be?



The Megatron Prowl's been interrogating is really a clone made by Straxus?

Another GI Joe crossover?

Richard Branson's going to announce a planned takeover of IDW and "Salvage" transformers 35 issues further down the line?

PRACE BETS NOW!
