Simon Furman updated his blog with details of Transformers #5 (the UK movie Comic) http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/200...k-a-go-gone-5/
Although it did come out late last week, his post above has some spoilers for those in the UK who haven't found the issue yet or for those outside the country who may want to know what's currently happening in the comic.
Plus, who can resist the free Transformers disc-launcher pack-in? |

Tho' i will comment that the Guido Guidi art in this latest issue looks quite nice. Jason Cardy's colouring helped! 
Check out my ROTF fanfiction: I Rise, You Fall, Rising Sun and Tales of The Last Prime.

Ironhide's unit on Cybertron - two new guys, plus the (Target) Scouts Strongarm, Skyblast and Signal Flare. Also spot the cameo by Longview!
It's really cool to see those guys given a little attention. Quote: |

The previous issue's art, by Don Fig, was let down by some sub-par colouring IMO and story-wise it didn't really go anywhere either. The letters pages/covermounts really tell you what market it's aimed at. It's worth noting that the one-shots also completely contradict IDW's Movie Prequel, which is serialised in the same comic!
I don't think I'll be renewing my subscription after issue 12, sadly.

Whilst it's nice to be able to say there's a UK comic again, I'm not taken by the format. And the high of the first issue hasn't been hit a second time, IMO. 
Hasbro don't make 'em like they used to. Thanks to aricosaur!

#10 | | King of Muay Thai Join Date: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,622 Location: England News Credits: 10 | i bought the first issue but was turned off by the lack of real content. The old Marvel A-Z and Dread Tidings were much better formats at presenting profile pages and letters.
Plus there's the cost of each issue. I pay about £3.50 for each IDW comic including shipping and I get my enjoyment out of each issue. But this just isn't worth the money. I'd buy a trade paperback of the new comic strips but haven't seen fit to buy a further issue. | |
