All your favorite Transformers characters as you've never seen them before! Optimus takes the spotlight! Even a bot as wise as a leader of the Autobots needs guidance now and again, so Optimus turns to Codexa-a Cybertronian who has grown into the very planet itself. Will she help Optimus settle his problems with Megatron or will she lead them both to ruin? Transformers-now shipping twice monthly!

Well we did learn about the existence of Leader Cybertron Optimus Prime from these covers sooo...

The possibility definitely stands

Well, here is what may seem like a stupid question- How do I subscribe to get these? Electronic or otherwise?

Print: Ask your local shop about 1 and 2, they'll be past order cutoff but most likely will be happy to hold a copy for you out of their shelf stock (assuming they ordered some, which they probably did.) Likely they can also hook you up with a subscription. The codes on Previewsworld that look like "MAR190###" are order codes for particular issues/covers. If you're not sure where a shop near you is, check https://www.comicshoplocator.com/Home/1/1/57/575

My nearest comic shop is way to far away, as I live in Small Town, USA, that has nothing interesting to note about it. I'd rather the digital print, anyways, which I've decided I can afford. Thank you!!
