    According to John Barber on twitter, OP #17 and #18 are indeed out on the same day, next Wednesday:

    David from IDW chalked it up to a screwup sending stuff out:

    So prepare for a double dose of ‘The Falling’ apparently!

    It'd also be cool if those companies made sure the artists that created the comic books drew the characters in a way that allows fans to know what character they are looking at.

    I just got my subscription email from comiXology saying that only OP #17 was coming out next week, so I was all ready to trust that, then I see this. Guess I’ll go with Barber. One would assume he knows what he’s talking about.

    I hope Comixology manages to release everything on the correct day, but I have my doubts.

    IDW have apparently sent out a request that, despite having received them with this week's shipment, comic shops don't sell Optimus Prime #18 and all the other titles originally intended for next week until next week.

    I guess that applies to digital as well.

    Unclear. comiXology, at least, still has OP #18 and LL #17 slated for tomorrow.

    And I hope that’s the case, cause I’ve had my mind set on three comics.

    Ditto. My LCS didn't even get OP #18 or LL #17.

    Either Diamond or IDW goofed.

    No big deal. I'd rather have it spread out than all at once and have a drought for a month.

    I'm guessing OP #18 or LL #17 were released digitally? Just not physical floppies

    Seibertron reviewed them.

    my LCS did not get them (I unpacked the books myself) and I called 3 other stores in my area and they did not get them either. Midtown Comics also released their list for next week (which they release every Wednesday) and OP #18 and LL #17 are on that list
