Hey guys I'd like to ask for your precious help...
Due to personal problems I had to stop buying TFs comics back in November 2006... since then I haven't known anything related to TF comics.
Last one I bought was Infiltration no. 6... :sad:

I'd like to know were can I find/buy old IDW issues on-line (call it on-line stores or even downloadable scanned images of them, at this point I guess I don't really mind). Or perhaps some TPBs if there are some...
By the way it'd come in handy to have a list of what came out and what is currently going on, y'know, series, mini-series, specials, etc..

THANKS A LOT GUYS!! :grin:

Amazon usually has the TPBs at decent prices. I scored Infiltration, Escalation and Devastation from there at around $15 a piece shipped...not to mention the first two Spotlight volumes and Megatron Origin for a bit less than that there as well.

Many larger bookshop chains and even comic stores will order items in for you.

But amazon is most likely going to be the easiest and cheapest method of obtaining the trades.

You'll be wanting:
Escalation TPB
Devastation TPB
Spotlight Collection #1 TPB
Spotlight Collection #2 TPB
Spotlight Collection #3 TPB
if you don't have it, you may also want to get the Stormbringer TPB

And you can try to hunt down the 4 issues that made up Revelation: Spotlight Cyclonus, Hardhead, DoubleDealer and Sideswipe or wait for the trade.

Also released is the All Hail Megatron series that is a follow-on of sorts to the "tion" stories 3 issues have been released (with the 4th out this week).

Wow.. so many comics to hunt down...
well at least that would make my buy in Amazon good enough, considering they do charge shipping to Mexico. :grin:

As for the All Hail Megatron series and the newest comics (three to 4 month old),maybe I can get them directly in my comic book store...
Thank you!!!

If you are after the IDW comics, then you do not want any War Within TPB at as, since they were originally released by DW, and fit into the DW mythos better.

For IDW releases you will be wanting:
Infiltration
Stormbringer
Escalation
Devastation
Spotlight Collection #1
Spotlight Collection #2
Spotlight Collection #3

Revelation Trade should be out sometime early next year.

You can also grab the Megatron: Origins Trade if you wish, it's not necessary reading, as it does not tie in all that well to the rest of the IDW series, and it is overall a poorly constructed series,

Man!! I haven't seen you around the boards in YEARS!!

I would wait on AHM for now. I think that when it gets released, it'll be split into 2 volumes for what I remember. It's ok. It's finally starting to pick up now with issue #4.

If you want to find scans online

Do a google search with the name of the comic, issue number (usually in 01 or 001 form), file type (99% of the time .cbr and rarely .cbz) and an uploading site like rapidshare, megaupload, sendspace or mediafire.
