Thanks to IDW Publishing, we have our next round of Solicitations, this time for the comics that will be coming our way in September of this year!
The comic roster for September is fairly busy, as it consists of: IDW Transformers vs. Ghostbusters #4, which will continue the TF vs GH story that is set to kick off here next Wednesday; IDW Transformers #13 continues to follow Prowl and Chromia and is set for a 3-way power struggle between Orion Pax, Megatron, and Sentinel Prime; Transformers Galaxies will kick off with its first story about the Constructicons; and Transformers Legacy will be reprinted that month!
And on top of all of that, we are also getting a soft cover issue of IDW Transformers 2005 continuity Phase 2 Volume 10.
Check it all out below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
