IDW has update their New Releases Section with their April 25th releases. There are two comics due out on April 25th, Transformers Spotlight: KUP and Transformers: Balancing Act. IDW has also posted five page previews for both books. Go to IDW's New Releases Section for a sneak peak at Transformers Spotlight: KUP and Transformers: Balancing Act.

SO Kup finally gets released, and the Botcon comics are released.
Balancing Act is a TPB isnt it?

Must get that Vector Prime comic!

i'm totally psyched about the Kup spotlight. however, i believe that releasing a club exclusive comic to the general public like this defeats the purpose of it being an exclusive item in the first place. wish hasbro did the same thing with the damned botcon toys, though...

Well, they did it with the comic. And no one bitched about that.

Personally, I'm happy that IDW is putting out the Club comic. It's the only way I'd have been able to get it.

I got the clun comic through the club, and I'm fine with this. After all, we got it in an exclusive format and way before everyone else. Plus, I like having all of the issues collected in one volume, as they are releasing it!

Plus, I can't wait for Kup!

Must get Kup, more post Movie character G1 goodness.

did the soundwave spotlight comic come out yet? I haven't seen it yet. if it came out then I missed it. some one let me know if I need to go find it.

Soundwave came out last month.

Balancing Act looks great, love the art and story looks promising

Why aren't there any caps or speech bubbles on the "Balancing Act" pages?

And, by the by, does anyone know the story? I see a plethora of generations / universes here!

That second-to-last page of Balancing Act was a jaw-dropper.

"Good old Outback"...ya rotting corpse.

I bought both.

I really didn't like Kup at all.

Balencing Act was okay, but it just seemed so......conveluted.

Too many characters just popping in and out.

I picked up "Balancing Act" and was disappointed. It was, as said above, terribly convoluted and I lost interest in it quite quickly. I didn't feel very cohesive at all.

I agree. I only received the last few parts of the comic via the club (I joined up late), so I didn't know what to fully expect. If it was longer, or had less characters, or something, it may have been better. Sadly, the classic comic isn't much better so far...

How does Classics Megatron look in comic form?

He doesn't look all that bad, as far as art work is concerned. Character wise, he seems a little dull (not much going on yet), though he does seem to be the same Megs from the G1 cartoon (yes, I know this is supposed to take place in the Marvel universe).
