Looking forward to Regeneration One, but have no comic book shops in your area? Well good news! TFW2005 Boards member Bot Marley has recently contacted IDW regarding the whether or not the series will be coming to mobile devices and received the following statement: “The new series starts 7/11 in the IDW, Transformers and comiXology apps. We will also release the free comic book day issue on that day.”
Transformers: Regeneration One is the highly awaited continuation of the original Marvel Comics Generation One comic run that takes place 21 years after the events in Issue #80 and will be released monthly for 20 issues starting in July.

Since this is a continuation of the old marvel comic I may jusy buy this one.

Perfect! I wasn't worried about them not releaseing Regeneration One digitally. IDW's been really good about releasing all thier stuff digitally. But the free book was one I was wanting. The only comic shop around me isn't in the safest area of town, so I missed out on the free comic. Now I can actually get it, along with the new series.

I'm really looking forward to this, and really happy with the digital releases so far.
I'll buy the trades too, but those pages are very shiny on an iPad

Woohoo! My first news credit!
I wasn't able to score the FCBD issue and my comic shops are not showing much IDW love right now so digital is the best way for me to go. I'm pretty sure the FCBD issue will be free. I can't wait to read this!
I lost interest in the new series shortly before All Hail Megatron. I don't care for the designs or the story direction. I'm a fan of the US & UK Marvel run so this continuation is perfect for me.

That's awesome, but I have to find a place to get these comics in print.

That's good news. I couldn't get to the comic store on FCBD until late and this one was long gone.

I wish IDW would follow Marvel's lead with printed comic book + download code to make it easier to support my local comic shop. Guess I'll settle for digital only.

My method as well, although I don't get every TPB, only the rare one of something I really like (LSotW).
I wonder if the Free Comic Book Day comic will be free digitally? It would suck if it wasn't, but I could be talked into paying 99c or something.

Excellent! I plan on going digital only + TPB.

I have been waiting to get my hands on the Regeneration One issues for my iPad and reached out to find out some more info.
I reached out to comiXology and IDW and go this response:

Hi Bot Marley–
The new series starts 7/11 in the IDW, Transformers and comiXology apps. We will also release the free comic book day issue on that day.
