Norwich, eh? That's where you received your PhD, correct?
Was the trip for pleasure, or purely academic?

Neither, though definitely pleasing!
It was a conference I organised with the publication I edit.

Also, sorting out some shelves, and I realise how long we've come comics-wise...

I feel ya there. At least you don't have the 8 hardcovers leading up to Death of Optimus Prime, your shelf would be twice as tall!

The one thing missing is Police Action. And it can stay that way. [-(

Plus I'm waiting on Lost Light trades and another OP trade, I think, before Redemption, TAAO show up. Need to check with my shop!

Whaaaaaaaaaaat you don't like Police Action? I mean I can't blame you because of Spike, but still, out of all of them, that one?

At this point, I need to find Redemption and I need to pick up OP V2, LL V2, and TAAO V3 to be caught up. I picked up the Revolution transformers titles, but I'm not interested in the First Strike ones.

I was just checking in our handy database, and both OP and LL have two trades out by this week. TAAO will be much later to include the Annual. I might pick up the TF Revolution volume: https://www.idwpublishing.com/product/r ... nsformers/

and I'm still ummming about First Strike.

As for Police Action: it did nothing. It was in my initial reading stage, as I was using the library to pick them up, and I just could not care about that volume. When I had money to pick them up for myself, that one was deprioritised immediately. Never made it back up the list. Maybe I should..? :-?

Hmm, I could have swore OP was out already. I usually wait to buy at least 2 TPB at a time to get the amazon free shipping.

The TF revolution titles weren't that bad, but hardly necessary. I remember you saying the TF one didn't do anything for you, the TAAO one was included in Windblade V2, and I am forgetting your opinion on the MTMTE one. But the Christmas special collection made it worth it. I personally liked all the stories save TAAO, which wasn't bad, but sort of disappointed me. Liked the art though.

I think the best part about Police Action for me, which is a story I come back to more than others, was Prowl and Streetwise together.

LL is out in March, as by the post today (advanced solicit), and OP is out around next week (also advanced solicit back here)!

Yeah, Christmas special and MTMTE are the selling points of that collection. It's back on the list, even with double-dipped TAAO (which is still a very good piece)!

OP is red
and silver and blue.
Some think he's a god
but I think that of you.

Roses are red
Alpha Bravo's a chopper --
how could you possibly
be any hotter?

Intruder shot, too!

Some things are 0
and others are 1.
You make my heart do

Love the photos, made me chuckle. I hope your trip was well and you were able to get plenty of rest before you had to start running again.
