Hi i'm considering starting to read comics. transformers comics to be exact. i live in ipswich so i walked into my local store (central city comics) there was alot to choose from and i know that there is loads of transformers comics out there I need some advice on starting a collection
I can't give direct advice because it's all a matter of preference, but I can clear up some confussion for you Genertation 1 issues are hard to get a hold of singley and collect, so buy the collections if you're interested in seeing how it all began and (Generation 2 follows but hasn't been collected yet) Books with the Dreamwave brand are bogus and cancelled (because of the company president's brilliant bookkeeping skills). It's a different take on G1 but it wasn't very good or very long The War Within is the official history of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Cybertron in the early stages of the war. Dreamwave released them, but IDW collected them in a handy Omnibus (Dreamwave also left the third mini series incomplete) Armada/Energon are a comic book continiuty of the animated series. Dreamwave's closure left the series incomplete, so don't bother investing too much stock into these unless you think they're worth a look IDW published many different series, books with the IDW brand are a brand new reboot of G1, and they also published other series such as Beast Wars (continuation of animated series), Hearts of Steel (Steam age Transformers), Generations (reprints of selected G1 issues), and Movie universe books (events between movies) Here's the order of IDW's new comic series: Megatron Origin Infiltration Stormbringer Escalation New Avengers/Transformers Devastation Maximum Dinobots All Hail Megatron Ongoing series (currently up to #22) Heart of Darkness + a bunch of Spotlights about different characters and mini series (Ironhide, Bumblebee, Drift, Last Stand of the Wreckers) The movie universe books are in order: Revenge of the Fallen Defiance/Dark of the Moon Foundation Transformers Saga of the All Spark/ Official Prequel Transformers Transformers Reign of Starscream Revenge of the Fallen Alliance Revenge of the Fallen Revenge of the Fallen Nefarious Revenge of the Fallen: Tales of the Fallen Dark of the Moon Rising Storm Dark of the Moon
