Me too, I really miss the old IDW schedule of having New main stories released one week, reprints the next, another week of good secondary titles then a week of nothing, my wallet at least got a break then! :lol:

Anyone know what's in the Art of Transformers TPB?

Well, Transformers art obviously, but what type exactly?

Here's hoping the next TF:A issue is better than the last. :-(

Well, I wasn't just talking about comics, because in addition to those (minus the Time Wars reprint), I also have to get the two Doctor Who DVD's that get released the day before (The Trial of a Time Lord...assuming that's still coming out) and The Brain of Morbius, along with How I Met Your Mother Season 3. Those three things alone are going to be more than $100.

I believe (but am not sure) that it is a collection of original covers and various pages of interior art (all without text bubbles etc) as well as sketches from the artists who have worked on IDW Transformers comics.

*Hugs precious copy of MTMTE TPB*

God, how long I waited for this, being too condition-crazy about opening my actual issues.

Great to finally have it, although I was almost certain that they were going to do as Dreamwave did for its short-lived trades and split the two volumes between the opposing factions. It's alphabetical, which is no big deal, but I guess I just heard wrong. :/
