A little late-IDW noobie

I'm a Transfan with roots that run deep into G1, and now I'm starting to bud into the IDW universe—and loving it! I bought WW vol 1 and 2, Infiltration, Stormbringer, Escalation, and SL vol 1. I finished WW 1 and Infiltration—to very different story lines, but both supremely written. I keep going back and reading my favorite parts.

The fact that the art is breathtaking and a joy to look at is also part of the fun! I keep finding new things, like the shot of Prime's mudflap during his battle with Megs in WW 1. Just wanted to share my excitment with everyone! :D

Hate to Burst your Bubble, but the War Within stories are not part of the IDW Furmanverse. They were originally published by a company called Dreamwave (DW). DW went bankrupt and ripped off many of the people who worked for them, thanks to a fella called Pat Lee. IDW has only re-published the DW War Within and G1 series Trades.

So nothing that happens in the War Witin series has any ties or implications on the IDW stories released thus far: Infiltration, Escalation, Stormbringer, or the Spotlights.

So while they may be good stories, War Within is now officially dead, as is the not so well written DW ongoing G1 series.
