I just meant that we now have the technology to not be blockd by obstacles when wanting to read comics. They will still get int the way of us reading them our preffered way though. I myself preffer paper copies but if the price of online comics were cheaper, as well as their digital readers, then I would make the jump.

They will delay the digital releases to coincide with the physical releases. Otherwise the paper distributors would be madder than a Geewunner being forced to watch Dark of the Moon.

Not always. Last months delays meant nothing in iBooks. I got all my books on they're original release date. Ibooks sometimes even jumps the gun and puts them out early. I've gotten 3 issues of MTMTE three weeks early before.
I haven't picked up a physical issue in 2 years now. Everything is on my iPad or iPhone. Not because I don't like physical media but because I own too many comics and needed to start thinking smart with it. Still get trades though.

As I said, not always. One fun fact, iBooks also releases books the night before at 10pm central time.

Looks like Scoop could be the new Scrapper
Re: IDW Publishing Transformers #38: Days of Deception Preview

That's how Scoop has always looked. It's looking more as if Remnants of Scrapper in in Prowl and the other constructicons and since we know Combiner Wars is taking place on Cybertron and last we knew Scrappers corpse is on Cybertron I could see him returning by the end of the event...oh and the new toy too.
I think Scoop does have a role to play but if I had to guess I think he's going to steal the Enigma of Combination by the end of this issue and bring it to Starscream which is how everything kicks off. I don't see Gavatron getting it nor Prowl. It's gotta end up in Starscream's hands since he's the main villain in combiner wars.

A reminder: this preview *usually* means the actual issue is out two weeks after it's posted.
The full preview is releases the Tuesday before the Wednesday the book is actually out, iTunes is just a way for one of the IDW assistants to feed the fire.

I'm just happy Buster is safe.
I've spent the last month catching up on the IDW transformers story line from All Hail Megatron. I'm fairly invested right now.

That poor dog Buster must be heavily traumatised
!
There's so much heat and noise from jet engines, energy weapons and giant robots yelling at each other. Being so close to all that noise could make a dog permanently deaf, if nothing else.
Oh, I just remembered, there was Buster Witwicky in the Marvel continuity. Buster the dog could be a little joke about that.

What's funny about Buster is that she's surprisingly nonplussed by the whole giant robot thing. Must be like animals bred for war, they just get used to it.
