My assumption? Much as I've been a fan of IDW's TF comics from the start, the early stuff got a bit messy to follow for casual readers. You had a bunch of different minis and the Spotlights and the focus shifted all over the place. Starting with AHM, the central narrative got a lot more focused, and that's something we're still seeing now. Granted there are three books with three main storylines now, but there isn't much overlap. These kinds of series are probably a lot easier to translate for foreign audiences. I know if I was picking up a manga (which I rarely do) and the art and storylines were jumping around every to every other issue, I would have a hard time staying interested.
Love that cover. The artist did a nice job following IDW's style.
