It's been a while since we last heard anything about the Hasbro Universe crossover from IDW Publishing, First Strike, but this week brings us at last the collected trade paperbacks for its two main components: First Strike proper (now with added Transformers and GI Joe brand logos adorning the title) and First Strike Champions!
The former, whose preview you can check out below, collects the six regular issues plus introductory issue #0, and is theoretically out this Wednesday. Written by Mairghread Scott and David A. Rodriguez and with art by Max Dunbar and Ander Zarate, it brings together the different franchises of GI Joe, Transformers, MASK, Micronauts, and ROM the Spaceknight by pitting them against each other. Again.

The other collected trade paperback out this week from IDW Publishing, is the corollary to the main First Strike crossover event, with the multiple tie-in stories from the franchises involved in the Hasbro Universe, under the title of First Strike Champions!
Check out the preview below, showing the opening of Micronauts - and the later encounter with Rom, Dire Wraiths and Solstar Order - as the rest of the book includes GI Joe and MASK, and Optimus Prime and Transformers/Revolutionaries (including Action Man) by different teams of artists and writers! Join the discussion in the Energon Pub, of course, and let us know if you'll pick up these books after all.

Your favorite characters—Rom, the Autobots, Micronauts, G.I. Joe, and more—get to shine in standalone stories setting up the ultimate Hasbro comic book event! First, with Cybertron under siege from Baron Ironblood, it’s up to Optimus Prime and Arcee to defend their homeland, and the Revolutionaries team is caught in the middle! Then, back on Earth, Rom finds himself teaming up with the world’s smallest heroes, the Micronauts! Can they prevent catastrophe, or is it already too late? And, with the team divided, G.I. Joe must confront dangers both in space and Earthside. Looks like they’ll need some help from M.A.S.K.:Mobile Armored Strike Kommand!

I bet First Strike will read pretty darn well as a trade. Too bad the content with the last gasp crumbles of foreshadowing for the abrupt ending is in an entirely different TPB.

Yeah, to anyone reading these, Champions then First Strike proper is probably the best way to approach the story.
