this also applies to books that are already marked down. I picked up 4 new issues of transformers, windblade, and MTMTE for $6 total

[Va'al]

Wonderful stuff!

[no-one]

Well badical! I'm just about finished up with all the comics from the last TF humble bundle.

Paint me pleased.

I do find it odd that the discount doesn't work through the app. I wonder if this has something to do with IDW getting its own app. Shopping via the store is just an extra step.

Following the previous IDW sale on various series across their line, they have now shifted over the the more kid-friendly titles - and that of course includes a bunch of Transformers series too!

Transformers Animated - The Arrival Collected Edition

Transformers Prime - Collected Edition

Transformers Prime - Beast Hunters

Transformers Prime - Rage of the Dinobots

Head over here to find out more and purchase some of the titles, plus others!

Head here for the main page for examples of what they have within this sale. It is important to note that while the discount will not be shown, you will get it at checkout when you write "IDW" as a coupon code. You will then see the items you purchased properly discounted like the example below which is my own purchase from this sale. The sale ends October 17th.

Had limited funds so I ended up just going with Megatron Origins and the Dark Cybertron spotlights.
Only read the latter so far. Liked em, though it felt odd just how connected they all were to each other. A bit too "what a coinc-y-dink" to me, but yeah, still good.

[Noideaforaname]

Tempted to splurg, but I think just Sins of the Wreckers will do.

[william-james88]

Which spotlights would you guys think are really worthwhile?

As far as comics go I have lsotw, sotw, megs origin, alh, autocrasy, as well as everything idw related since the reboot as rid and mtmte. Anything I didn't mention that is really good?

[Kurona]

If you're just going for post-DOOP stuff - which is a very smart move if you don't wanna get tangled up in the massive backlog of comics in pre-DOOP IDW; most of which while good has little correlation to modern times aside from things that the modern comics themselves easily catch you up on and unfortunately includes All Hail Megatron - then the most worthwhile spotlights are by definition the Dark Cybertron ones since those are the only post-DOOP ones.
I do really enjoy spotlight: shockwave though.

[william-james88]

Thanks! I just search spotlight dark cybertron to find them?

[Kurona]

Thanks! I just search spotlight dark cybertron to find them?

Pretty much, yeah

[Noideaforaname]

Anything I didn't mention that is really good?

If you haven't gotten it, "Chaos Theory" (#22-23 of the old ongoing series)

Despite being in the middle of a series, these two are mostly flashbacks and Megatron and Optimus having a heart-to-heart discussion. They're written by James Roberts, and MTMTE naturally references them quite a bit.

[william-james88]

And has anyone figured out that the best deal is yet? Like which book has the biggest discount and what gives you most for your money?

Well, considering that it is just about every IDW Transformers comic... that'd take quite a bit of searching.


By the by, since I'm here; suppose I can make my best recommendations from the furman era

Spotlight: Shockwave
Spotlight: Sixshot
Spotlight: Blaster
Maximum Dinobots

Maximum Dinobots I feel is just the most enjoyable of the main ongoing series Furman had going, while the three Spotlights I've picked are what are in my opinion the best of all three types of Spotlights. Shockwave ties directly into the main story and gives huge context on what's going on; Sixshot expands on one of the characters in the main story and gives extra context; Blaster has nothing at all to do with the main story but attempts to use the universe set up to provide just a damn good story - and succeeds. All of them manage to be great stories really.

[william-james88]

Thanks I will look into those. i already have spotlight shockwave, its been free for a while (thats very kind of them).

[Kurona]

Very kind. Makes sense too; a lot of Revolution stuff is rooted in Shockwave's machinations with his ores, which the Spotlight shows best.
