Hey all!
I'm kinda new to comics in the transformers world, and have recently bought and read all the War Within series and the AHM series.
Just a couple of questions though....what is the order of comics to read? Reading through the AHM series there were some bits i didn't get and im guessing its cos i haven't read appropriate material. Does the spotlight series shed light on AHM?
Is there a definitive list stating which order the comics come/should be read?
Thanks in advance for any help!  |

War Within was part of the now defunct Dreamwave continuity.. The Transformers (IDW Publishing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia maybe this well help in regards to all hail megatron however.. I can't say if its 100% accurate as I don't read the IDW comics.. | |

Spotlight Mirage doesn't really take place anywhere, since most of it occurs in an alternate universe with barely any framing of when it takes place. | |

Infiltration
Stormbringer
Spotlight: Volume 1
Escalation
Spotlight: Volume 2
Devastation
Spotlight: Volume 3
Spotlight: Revelation
Maximum Dinobots
Its not perfect (in when the spotlights should be read) but it made perfect sense for I...ok not perfect as I tend to re-read things to clear shit up but good enough at least. Hope that helps. Quote:

Now as you're in the UK too, where do you get your comics from? I get a lot through ebay, but they are mostly single issues and i would like to get the TPB's. | |

The Maximum Dinobots TPB isn't out over here until next week but everything else should be available Quote:

Just though I'd mention that I have a few IDW TPB's which I'm selling, if your interested. I have: - Infiltration
- Escalation
- Devastation
- Spotlight Vol 1
- Spotlight Vol 2
Might save you a quid or two on buying from Amazon. PM me if you are interested in taking any off my hands! Cheers. | |
