    I see what they're going for, but there's a tiny flaw. Megatron's reflection isn't MW Megatron. Not technically, anyway.

    Yeah, i really wish they had put the Machine Wars bodies on top, and had the G1 bodies as the reflection, since, you know, that's what entire idea of this story...

    I agree. Also, assuming this is a nod to the cover of Grant Morrison's "JLA: Earth 2", that cover also had the alternate versions as the main focus.

    Boy, these Diamond releases sure like to highlight characters who aren't actually in the comic. See also last year's Diamond cover:

    I ordered mine on my comic supplier's December order form this morning, so I guess they didn't have it up for the November solicits in time or something.

    Did you see a different release date in the book? I heard December, but comixology had November listed, though that could always change.

    No, I just saw it on the December order form right at the bottom (like it was added later).

    Most likely it'll be out in November, but they weren't informed in time to put it on that order form or something.

    Just checked it, and it does say 27th November on it, so that's the most likely scenario it seems

    That cover was originally for the Earth 2 hardcover, when they did the softcover edition, they had this new cover: JLA: EARTH 2 | DC Comics

    I think that TF cover is closer to the softcover's posing.

    Wonder if Soundwave on the cover is foreshadowing for a TFCC figure. I'd be down with that.

    All of the reflections are clones of the originals.

    I went to BotCon this year and I'm getting this new cover of the convention comic. I hope they continue the story in it.

    it's just a reprint of the convention comic, nothing new storywise, though there might be some added bios and stuff.

    There's been a few new story pages in the Diamond editions since at least 08. I don't recall further than that. The 06 version had bios for Max-cops. I remember that much.

    Yeah, that was a real disappointment. Most at least gave us bios, which I don't consider a substitute for new comic-fiction content, but at least it's something we haven't already seen.
