First one was brilliant, looking forward to the next one. Specially as season 3 had so many more cameos.
I want to know more about Animated Warpath!

Given the immense success of these, I don't get why a continuing comic isn't done by IDW. The art is PERFECT for comic format and if the story is half as good as people made it out to be (sorry, I wasn't a TFA fan), then it would be a success in a 32 page format. Just a thought.

I know one "Transformers Expert" who is going to be very excited for this.

Me, I thought the first book was kind of a meh.

You're assuming IDW follows any sort of logic regarding the TF license at all, which is something I have yet to see.

I am SO looking forward to this book. :grin:

I seem to recall the sales numbers for IDW Animated comics weren't too high.
The first Almanac was a nice book, with lots of interesting art and info (who I had missed before); its main issue maybe was the size. Too big: many enlarged (?) images looked too rough on those gigantic pages.
