-This week's Transformers related offerings according to PREVIEWS:

No Transformers Related Listings

-And Next Week's Looks Very Similar:

No Transformers Related Listings

All clues lead to it looking like Spotlight Grimlock will indeed be an April release rather than the second Spotlight in March, but IDW still has yet to confirm this because they do not have next week's offerings posted yet.


You can check to see if your other favorite titles might be shipping by checking the PREVIEWS site here!

That's weird. I heard that Focus on Decepticons was coming out next week.

[Tigertrack]

Not on the PREVIEWS list, but we do know that they have been wrong in the past where IDW is concerned.

The list Diamond posts for the week in advance should never be taken as any serious indication of what books will actually come out that week. Especially in the case of independent publishers.

Would even advise the news crew around here not to use that as any serious source of information.

The list posted on Diamond's site on Mondays for books shipping that Wednesday are the more accurate one to go by, although it's not quite a set of stone tablets itself.

[Tigertrack]

So you are telling me they don't even know what they will ship on these weeks?

[WhiteRabbit]

The one posted for the 19th (or any other same-week list) should be mostly dependable. Sometimes stuff on the list won't necessarily make it to your comic store, for a myriad of possible reasons.

However, I'd personally recommend ignoring the one for the 26th (or any other next-week list) until it gets updated the Monday before shipping date.

[Calvatron]

Yeah. I'd say that the next week info for transformers is 80% unreliable. About one in five times they are acurrate and those are almost always when there is nothing two weeks in a row or a main line title is listed.

I have to agree with WhiteRabbit, the following weeks release list always seems to contain no Transformers related products, yet when it is updated to the this weeks releases list Transformers related releases (not just from IDW either) seem to have magically appeared.

Although I fully expect Spotlight: Grimlock not to appear until April.
