Some people do pool together and do that, or then resell the other copies on secondary market, or both!

i remember doing that once with one back when dreamwave put out transformers and ended up with a shitload of one issue like 20 just for the variant and decided i wasnt going to do it again but just 10 issues doesnt seem too bad

If comics prices were not as high as they currently are with all major publishers, I'd say go for it! But with 3.99 minimum per issue, I wouldn't recommend it, just for the one cover.

It's cheaper to buy them on eBay than it is to do self-fund an RI order. Way cheaper.

Come now, you make it sound bad I need to do something while my mum's recovering from surgery and I am off work taking care of her (when I am not taking care of her)

Not at all, you're being super useful!

And in an entirely different tone direction... It may not be the anticipated Sharkticonado script, but the Optimus Prime annual from IDW Publishing's Transformers comics does see Thundercracker's obvious and not at all hammy scriptwriting talents put to good use (in what is probably set before the end of Till All Are One) to create Starscream: The Movie.

Check out below the sneaky preview from iTunes, and head back in a couple of weeks for more!

THUNDERCRACKER IN: STARSCREAM: THE MOVIE! The good news: somebody finally gave Thundercracker money to make a film. The bad news: it’s Starscream, and he wants a biographical picture to win over the people of Earth. Will Thundercracker stand by his principles or... well, no, he makes the movie.

What event was Thundercracker trying to dramatise there?

The life of G.I. Joe spy Chuckles, which was chronicaled in the G.I. Joe: Cobra miniseries.

Thundercracker is that a Starbucks cup?

Thanks

This looks like a fun Story. I might have to pick it up.

I no longer read the comics but, why does Thundercracker have a different seeker type of body?
