    So from what I gather Japan has AHM and LSOTW now/soon, and I've seen Takara rumblings about MTMTE getting a translation.
    But other than that and a good chunk of Marvel G1 I don't think anything else has seen a release in Japan.
    Which is good, I've seen people just post synopses about IDW incarnations of characters/IDW exclusive characters on Pixiv when they do art of them as a preface, and I'm not entirely sure about the fansub community over there in general for the comics or the shows.

    I love that cover! I might have to pick it up just for the cover.

    Wait, Last of the Wreckers was released in 2010? That was almost a decade ago.

    I feel old.

    Beautiful cover, but it's definitely a shame that the Japanese fans had to wait so long for this. LSotW (and the whole Wreckers saga really) is not only one of the highlights of the IDW05 continuity but of Transformers fiction in general. Amazing book.

    So how much of 1dw do Japanese fans have so far? Like is MTMTE out there before LSOTW?

    I haven't read any of the idw comics before. Could I just start reading LSOTW as my starting point, or would I be missing out on a lot of context?

    I think it works more than well enough on its own.

    When I first picked it up, I hadn't read a Transformers comic in ages. You won't be lost so all. I highly recommend reading it.

    lol good
    I hope they get to Phase 2 soon though; Phase 1 is kinda boring in comparison, I've found.

    The miniseries and spotlight format of the beginning of the IDW wasn't bad, but it did leave the stories disjointed and not terribly engaging from one issue to the next. This is definitely the story where that changed permanently as the IDW continuity finally found its voice.

    There was a major event in IDW that had some influence on LSOTW but the do a good job of recapping the relevant bits.

    It was super apparent to me while I was reading phase 1 while reading phase 2 ongoing at the same time; I'd say that AHM is kind of where the story picks up, but really hits its' stride even later.
