The fine folks over at Comics Continuum have shared with us IDW's Solicitations for August. Among the Ninja Turtles and GI.Joe action are three Transformers comic releases. The Ongoing Transformers series continues its bi-weekly trend with #23 and #24. The third comic is a Transformers Classics: UK Vol 1 Paperback. It also looks that July spells the last of the Movie-verse IDW run that has run for 4 years. Check out the spoilers and covers below!

I guess I need to find Transformers Comics at my local Comic Book Store, if I have one. Better start google searching.

Work is picking up and I'm considering starting to throw money at the comic series since I won't be buying the toys from the movie. My one biggest concern is that CHAOS may be in some way tied to "Chaos-bringer" or Unicron and I will be seriously pissed if it is. Everyone says that they wanted him in TF3 (which would have SUCKED!!!) and if they bring him back into the comic universe it's going to be just an absolute sh**-fest! The character is DEAD, he died in 19-freaking-86, leave him dead and stop bringing him back into every single cartoon and comic series!

Now watch, after my rant CHAOS will have absolutely nothing to do with Unicron and I'll have gone off for no reason whatsoever.

Well it looks like I'm buying all the Transformers books in August

WAIT... Now IDW has the Drizzt titles? My wallet screams.

Ugh, why does that UK vol. 1 trade have to come out the same month as that TMNT hardcover??
