Greetings IDW Faithful! Let me extend a hearty thanks to all of you for joining us in celebrating some of the exciting new projects that IDW Publishing will have to offer through the rest of the year and into 2017!
In case you haven’t heard (and if you haven’t, what rock have you been under?!), we just wrapped up one of the biggest events in IDW’s history— REVOLUTION! Thanks to the storylines created in REVOLUTION, some of Hasbro’s most popular franchises are now tied into one universe of epic proportions! You no longer need to pretend what it would be like for some of your favorite characters from G.I. JOE, TRANSFORMERS, ROM, MICRONAUTS, ACTION MAN and M.A.S.K.: MOBILE ARMORED STRIKE KOMMAND to all exist together in one universe... because now they do! And the repercussions of all this co-habitation will have lasting effects on these blockbuster properties for years to come! Can you imagine what it will be
like for Optimus Prime to battle the forces of Baron Karza? Or what will happen if V.E.N.O.M. gains control of Rom’s Neuralyzer? In this brave new world, anything can happen... and probably will!
Look for the RECONSTRUCTION logo on some of your favorite Hasbro titles as an easy way to identify which comics are part of the new shared universe. And don’t worry—your favorite titles will still
be focused on the characters you’ve come to know and love, we’re just adding a little something extra to keep things fun and fresh! So, if you are a new reader, welcome aboard! If you are a regular reader of one or more of our titles, THANK YOU! I hope all of you give some of our other new titles a try as well. With all-new storylines starting this month alongside brand-new title launches, there has
never been a better time to be a fan of these beloved characters. IDW Publishing is thrilled to bring you all these comics in a way that has previously only existed in everyone’s wildest imaginations!
Sincerely,
David Hedgecock
Editor-in-Chief

Screw this noise, I'm out. I hope things go well for IDW, but I'm just gonna ignore the comics for a while and wait for the first Lost Light TPB.
The numbered ones for which the physical sales figures are available (1-3) drop off hard. Almost 30k copies of 1 moved, but only 18 or 19k for 2 and 13k for 3. Maybe this is normal and I don't realize it though.TheForgottenTaxi wrote:(Nope. Just checked and it looks like sales of Revolution were way better than sales on the individual TF books, which are actually pretty paltry. Sigh.)

Action Man Revolution did not do well. ROM and Micronauts did ok.
The sales of TF books tanked starting in August from a usually pretty steady clip, probably because of the awful job they did of promoting the title changes. Possibly, some casual readers thought the 55s were it for both books for good. Hopefully the new books can get some momentum back going, or maybe the digital sales can make up some ground.
