In a sort of curveball from IDW Publishing, we have the last book in the Titans Return mini-event from the Transformers IDWverse, in the form of The Transformers #57 - also headed fully for release this Wednesday (it had already seen some digital release, but not physical, for some reason). Check out the full preview below, and head back here later this week for a review!

Digitally, yes. But not in physical form, which I think is the way they determine the preview releases.

It did?

Hmm.


I feel like something is missing. Which of the Revolutions should be before this one?

This is actually continuing on from Transformers #56, the mainline book.

I can't be sure, but I think Revolution takes place after this, since the Autobots are still picking up stragglers and survivors from the end of the fight in #55. Plus, the Joes say they acquired Blitzwing during the mopup.

The order of the story is Transformers #56, Transformers #57, MTMTE #56, MTMTE #57, and THEN Revolution.

More or less, yes! The actual order of reading for these is a mystery shrouded in secret, with a sprinkle of bonkers scheduling - we call it the IDW method.

So about this issue, looks like we know more of Nickel's origin now, don't we?

There's a time disconnect right now in the book's "timeline", so to speak. Revolution takes place roughly six months after All Hail Optimus, with Titans Return somewhere in between mostly-ish?

Anyhow, if you're curious about reading order of the latest stuff, I attempted one for the FAQ but also put it here: the-transformers-idwverse-a-chronology-t105238s25.php#p1828104
