    Given how Autobot-focused the comics can be, maybe so lol.

    I can wait.

    My guess, since Scioli finished last week, T v J 5 will be out next week along with MTMTE. So two great TF reads for me.

    As it is, Star Wars issue 1 comes out tomorrow, so I'll see if that rocks.

    How many pages will the "Punishment" 1-shot be? Will it be a normal 22-pager, or is it going to be more of a "mini" TPB?

    It's going to have all five issues in one. So like TPB.

    So each issue was a full 22 pages? I wasn't sure, because I know when Autocracy was released online, each part was only 6 pages or so.

    So, we're getting Transformers MTMTE and Drift next week, then Punishment the week after?

    This is getting confusing. Did IDW post about this anywhere besides Barber's post on twitter?

    I *think* it's like Autocracy. But I'm not sure. Anyone actually have it?

    I suspect Punishment is around the length of two regular issues with its $6 price tag. I also wouldnt be surprised if it is bound like a trade paperback though, much like the Spotlight Drift Director's Cut issue that they released last year.

    They look to be Autocracy length looking at it personally, hard to say when a page ends with the motion stuff for sure.

    By Autocracy length, do you mean each of the parts of Punishment is about the length of one of the twelve parts of Autocracy? If so, then my estimation is pretty close since if memory serves me correctly, each part of Autocracy was 8 pages. Punishment is 5 parts so that puts it at almost a double issue.

    wasn't punishment the idw version of a marvel motion comic?


    so id assume they would release it digitally and use whatever devices they used for a motion story

    MTMTE #37 has been pushed back to February 4th. 'Sigh' I hope they don't push back #38.
