It's available on IDW Publishing's own website, but not on Comixology.

I caved and went to IDW publishing and picked it up.

NO SPOILERS!

But as everyone knows I’ve always been critical of this series. This issue actually started to make me cry.
Holy crap a comic has never made me get that emotional....well ultimate Spider-Mans death did but still

This issue is amazing. Words can’t describe it other than amazing. It doesn’t answer everything but man it gets damn close.

I may cave and buy it if it doesn't get released by Amazon/Comixology before Wednesday.

Any issues I had with LL got erased in the past 2 issues, especially with how Getaway reached his end.

I caved and bought the issue.

HOLY. ****. ****.!!!!!!!

That last page............. No spoilers because I have no words.

I can't wait to hear Scottyp's take on this. :-D

I am not a frugal or financially responsible person, so keep that in mind, but the spending $4 on the digital version knowing I'll spend $8 on physical copies on Wednesday? No regrets at all.

Knowing I could have waited 24 hours for the digital review copy from IDW? Still, no regrets at all. Besides, those review copies are at a crap DPI and this is probably the best Transformers work Brendan Cahill has ever done.

QFT. Really really super satisfying comic book.

I'm honestly still processing it, but I was very pleased and impressed and want to go re-read a lot of MTMTE now!

I was in a similar (but not as bad position) early this morning. But I'm happy to throw IDW an extra $8 at this point!

What a gratifying issue! So many things I have yearned to see resolved plot-wise and said character-wise over MTMTE/LL's entire run all in 22 pages!

Bravo!

It's never too late to achieve your childhood (or bothood) dreams.

Also! I can stan for any comic where the big bad is basically a Turkducken.

...anyone have the link to purchase this issue?
I tried checking the IDW site (https://www.idwpublishing.com/product/t ... -light-22/) but it's not showing up as available for purchase to me. Maybe they spotted the mistake and fixed it but now I'm gunna have to spend nearly a week trying to dodge spoilers :-s

I too am very annoyed. Now I want to buy it and I can't! I need to know what was so big that every is shitting themselves

They (idw) confirmed on Twitter this is what happened.

I wonder how many people bought it off them then :-?

News Credits: 1646 · Thu Aug 02, 2018 7:03 pm

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

But as for the preview, I have to say, it's about time Roberts finally got back fully on the amazing track that was MTMTE. Simply put, Lost Light 1-12 was pretty much complete ****, with Riptide being the only redeemable quality from that year. Issue 13 was a step in the right direction thanks to Milne and Ten, and then after that things finally got truly on track, and now? This is what I have been waiting and wishing for.

Well done for finally returning to form.

Argh! Gotta wait until the 8th, when all three issues drop on Comixology!

Thank you to all of you who read the books and didn't say anything, I really appreciate it and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The urge to share is strong, but the book is so good, would legitimately feel bad if I ruined it for anyone.

I won't ask. I know some other sites have spoiled it, but I'll wait until next week to get it.

I'd wonder if IDW just doesn't say "screw it", and offer it for sale before Wednesday, since there's obviously a demand for it.

Without revealing what the actual big **** actually was, has anyone else who read this and is a sci TV fan thinking this is a very similar, if not rip off to a show from the last decade with the reveal.

Totally did not see it coming and adds a little humility to the world views that everyone has making larger than life characters actually appear normal and mortal.

I will certainly be going back and re-reading all issues now I know this info and seeing them in a totally different way now.
