Marvel Transformers needed to have Spiderman as a guest character in #3 to generate more sales.

 

It is but not as bad as this fandom. Marvel and DC fans get mad when the do it BUT if it is a good story they support it. Miles Morales Spdier-Man, the new Ms. Marvel, Jaime Reyes, so on.

This fandom never stops being mad. Story is good and gets a second printing "Ugh! Now they will just do MORE OF THIS!". A new character is introduced and gains fans and is in a well-liked series "Ugh, Mary Sue character getting attention!"

Again, I think some fans honestly just want this fandom to be a tiny, cult-following where nothing is main stream and all the figures cost hundreds of dollars and are super rare and nothing ever changes.

Uh... no, we aren't all acknowledging that. Just a few people creating theories based on the plotting of one arc and the introduction of a character. That's literally it.

 

The Transformers fandom is the Chicken Little of fandoms.

 

Yeah but every Marvel book back then had either Spidey or Wolverine show up by issue #3 to 'establish' the book.. Not just Transformers.. Now its Deadpools job

 

Probably assume that it will have collector value, plus it's new. Apparently some people don't know how 1st issues work with comics.

As for the whole thing ending, I seriously doubt that I am that lucky.

 

The speculator boom dies in 20 years ago, dude.

 

People still do it to a lesser degree. If they didn't, we wouldn't have alternative and lenticular covers.

 

Revisionist history. The Archie Megaman comic was about to die when the Worlds Collide crossover gave it enough life to keep going another 20 issues. Don't act like Worlds Collide was the thing that started the darn thing.

 

every new Marvel book had Spider-Man guest star in issue #3 at the time

 

We as a group brought these comics to g2 and what led to what is current. It’s not going away. Things change when you go forward. Some hate, some love, some stay neutral. However, if we buckle up, we will make it through whatever combo they through at us. I’m just glad the gap of nothing I lived through in the 90,s led to another (and multiple) comics adding to the history of my beloved franchise. Yes, this currently has no interest to me, but I’m glad they give me a choice rather than nothing at all. Stay calm folks. Could be very worse

 

Deadpool Kills The IDW Universe.

I'd read it.

 

Distributor level doesn't mean they are flying off the shelves.

 

That's true. If they only printed 2,000 copies it could sell out but still not be a great success. Can't wait to see the Comichron numbers for the actual sales figures.

I was hoping all the crossovers wouldn't be huge hits so that IDW would eventually decide to keep the Transformers more self contained. Optimus Prime has been unreadable because of all the interference. But if this stuff actually sells.....
