Now that you mention it, a good majority of the new books coming out in the near future all seem to be pretty expensive.

I may have to give this some consideration. I recently just discovered how good TFPrime is once they got past all the stupid kids involvement.

So Prime and FoC get art books but Movieverse, the one that really needs creative commentaries, doesn't?

Still, ought to be interesting. Even if, creatively, Prime is rather dull, outside a meager few like Soundwave.

Pretty, but it's nothing I particularly need. Pretty damn cool, though.

What sort of commentaries does it need that hasn't already been given in interviews and DVD extras?

Any idea if idw has any plans to color the black and white issues?

I can only imagine the colorist on regeneration doing those strips would be incredible

They didn't color the black and white pages of "Raiders of the Last Ark", so not likely.

Though, some of the B&W stories were later colored by Marvel in certain reprints of them, so IDW may use those versions of those particular stories.
